A sangre y fuego is a series of nine stories written by Manuel Chaves Nogales about the Spanish Civil War. The author, a vocational journalist, moves away from demagoguery and Manichaeism, focusing on the human profile of those who suffered the conflict. Written in 1937 from exile in France, the book shows the journalist's agility in the service of reality and the use of literature as a means of denunciation, transmitting a reality that is sometimes ironic and sometimes devastating. Considered one of the best fiction books about the Spanish Civil War.
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.
