In 'Un guardia civil en la selva' (A Civil Guard in the Jungle), Gustau Nerín narrates the story of Julián Ayala, a lieutenant in the Spanish Civil Guard in Spanish Guinea between 1921 and 1936. The book reveals the brutal Spanish colonial practices, including theft, extortion, slavery, and murders, highlighting the indifference in Spain towards these acts. Nerín illuminates a previously ignored chapter of the history of Equatorial Guinea, based on archives, bibliography, and interviews with elderly Guineans who remember the atrocities of the Spanish officer. The work is presented with the pace of an adventure novel, maintaining historical rigor, offering a journey into the heart of darkness of Spanish colonialism in Africa.
