«Imán» is the war novel by Ramón J. Sender, published by Ediciones Destino in paperback (303 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows the young Aragonese Viance, nicknamed Imán, during the Spanish colonial war in Morocco, with the episodes of Annual and Monte Arruit as a backdrop. Sender, who witnessed that conflict, portrays the harshness of military life and the contradictions of a war seen from below; the work becomes a denunciation of war and a social critique.
This edition is number 71 of the Destinolibro collection and was published in 1995; the novel originally appeared in 1930.
A work of interest for those who enjoy twentieth-century Spanish narrative and stories set in the Moroccan war.
