Description: This hard to find book gives a portrait of the Spanish people during the thirty six years of Fascist rule under Francisco Franco. It is presented in personal viewpoints from the people who lived through it and includes Remedios, who worked for a Franco supporter as a servant and stole food for her imprisoned brother (who had his death sentence commuted an hour after his death); Oriol Regas, a young Catalan who turned concerts into political events, Sergio Albert who rose from poverty to affluence as a homosexual courtesan; the Communist miner Arcadio, who attempted suicide after being tortured and jailed for his role in organising a strike and many other stories which are equally moving.
