«Adiós, luz de veranos» is the autobiographical book by Jorge Semprún, published by Tusquets Editores in paperback, with 248 pages, in Spanish.
Jorge Semprún evokes the memory of his childhood and early youth: the summers in Santander and Lekeitio, the family exile after the Spanish Civil War, and his boarding at the Lycée Henri IV in Paris. In that period, between the outbreak of the conflict in 1936 and his entry into adolescence, the author reconstructs the forging of his political and philosophical convictions alongside the French left, with the discovery of sexuality and the French language as decisive experiences.
The book belongs to the Andanzas collection and appeared in Spanish in 1998. It is part of the author's autobiographical production and is a work of non-fiction.
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.
