Recordarán tu nombre

Synopsis of Recordarán tu nombre

In this novel, Lorenzo Silva narrates in the first person how he discovered one of the most heroic and tragic moments in Spanish history, surprisingly forgotten by almost everyone. A key event marked by the antagonism between two men. The story of the military uprising in Barcelona on July 19, 1936, the challenge of General Goded to republican legality, and the decision of General Aranguren, the highest authority of the Civil Guard, who chose to defend democracy. Aranguren's refusal to collaborate with the uprising and his fidelity to the Republic are part of our history, but a part that is rarely told. And the fact that this is one of our most unknown and uncomfortable episodes makes it one of the best stories that literature can give us about the civil war. This is the story of a forgotten hero. A man who was able to put loyalty and his sense of duty before the orders of those who would end up taking power.
