«Le brûloir de Don Patricio précédé de Souvenirs de squelette» is a book of autobiographical stories by José Bergamín, in paperback and in French.
It brings together two autobiographical texts that José Bergamín wrote in exile, in Mexico and Montevideo, between 1939 and 1958. In them he evokes with irony and melancholy the Madrid of his childhood and adolescence. His prose brims with freedom of spirit between disillusionment and lucidity, and reflects on memory and the human condition.
A 222-page book published by Editions du Rocher in 2002, with translation from Spanish by Yves Roullière.
For readers of Spanish exile literature and twentieth-century autobiographical writings.
José Bergamín Gutiérrez was a Spanish writer, essayist, poet, and playwright. His father served as president of the canton of Málaga; his mother was a Catholic. Bergamín was influenced by both politics and religion and attempted to reconcile Communism and Catholicism throughout his life, remarking "I would die supporting the Communists, but no further than that."
