«Imán» is the war novel by Ramón J. Sender, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (302 pages, in Spanish).
Set in the Moroccan War, the novel addresses the Disaster of Annual (1921) through the soldier Viance, an anonymous combatant trapped in the machinery of war. Sender, with autobiographical background, portrays the harshness of the campaign, the dehumanization of soldiers, and the irrationality of war.

For readers of war fiction and twentieth-century Spanish literature, interested in the Moroccan War and in narrative with historical roots.
