«Viviré con su nombre, morirá con el mío» is the novel by Jorge Semprún, published by Maxi-Tusquets in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
In 1944, communist prisoners at Buchenwald hide Jorge Semprún behind the identity of another dying inmate. From that impersonation, Semprún recalls occupied Paris, clandestinity and the Resistance, in a narrative where solidarity and hope counterpoint the horror.
The work was originally published as «Le Mort qu'il faut»; in 2001 it won the Prix Jean-Monnet de littérature européenne and the Prix des Charmettes.
For readers of historical fiction and memoirs about World War II, with special interest in concentration camps.
Jorge Semprún Maura was a Spanish writer and politician who lived in France most of his life and wrote primarily in French. From 1953 to 1962, during the dictatorship of Francisco Franco, Semprún lived clandestinely in Spain working as an organizer for the exiled Communist Party of Spain, but was expelled from the party in 1964. After the death of Franco and the change to a democratic government, he served as Minister of Culture in Spain's socialist government from 1988 to 1991.
