"A sangre y fuego" is a series of nine stories written by Manuel Chaves Nogales about the Spanish Civil War. The author, a committed journalist, moves away from demagoguery and focuses on the human profile of those who suffered the conflict, showing the cruelty, absurdity, and disorientation of both sides. Written in 1937 from exile in France, this book stands out for its journalistic agility and its use of literature to convey a reality that is sometimes ironic and sometimes devastating. Considered one of the best books about the Spanish Civil War, it recounts anecdotes and real places with magnificent prose.
Manuel Chaves Nogales was a Spanish journalist and writer. Politically he was a moderate left-wing republican democrat who defined himself as "antifascist and antirevolutionary". As such, he was an enthusiastic supporter of the Second Spanish Republic.
