«Azaña» is the historical novel by Carlos Rojas, published by Planeta-De Agostini in hardback (312 pages, in Spanish).
Exiled in France, Manuel Azaña, president of the Republic, recalls episodes: the drama of Casas Viejas, the retreat to the Pyrenees, childhood and youth memories. Carlos Rojas interweaves his political action with philosophical reflections and portrays the intimate conflict of a sceptical intellectual, a lucid witness to the republican disaster.
Work awarded the Planeta Prize in 1973. This 1998 edition belongs to the Premio Planeta Collection.
For readers interested in the history of Spain, the Civil War and the figure of Manuel Azaña, as well as in historical fiction.
