«Velada en Benicarló» is Manuel Azaña's historical-political essay, published by Edhasa in 2017, in Spanish (288 pages).
Written in 1937 while Azaña was confined to the seat of the Catalan Parliament because of a republican uprising, the book takes the form of a dialogue on the war in Spain: it reviews the causes of the conflict, points out the mistakes of both sides and defends peace as the only way to prevent violence from mortgaging the country's future for decades.
Originally published in 1939, this 2017 edition includes a prologue and editing by Manuel Aragón and a graphic appendix on Azaña's life.
For readers interested in the history of Spain, the Civil War and republican political thought.
Manuel Azaña Díaz was a Spanish politician who served as Prime Minister of the Second Spanish Republic, organizer of the Popular Front in 1935 and the last President of the Republic (1936–1939). He has been called the father of the Republic and was the most prominent leader of the Republican cause during the Spanish Civil War of 1936–1939.
