In 'Aquel domingo', Jorge Semprún offers us a moving account of the failure of European humanism. Through memory and reflection, the author transports us to Paris in 1979, where a former agent of Spanish communism confronts his past. The work explores themes such as ideological disillusionment, the horror of concentration camps, and the search for meaning in the midst of Nazi barbarism. An essential testimony about the human condition and the challenges of the 20th century.
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.
