«En el nombre del padre» is the autobiography of Gerry Conlon, published by Ediciones B in paperback (334 pages, in Spanish).
In 1974, Gerry Conlon and three others were sentenced to life imprisonment for a bombing in Guildford despite proclaiming their innocence. After fifteen years in prison, an investigative commission concluded that the evidence had been manipulated. The book recounts his struggle, the death in prison of his father Giuseppe, and how it inspired the film by Jim Sheridan.
Work originally published as «Proved Innocent» in 1990; the eponymous film by Jim Sheridan (1993) featured Daniel Day-Lewis, Emma Thompson and Pete Postlethwaite.
For those interested in memoirs, real cases of miscarriages of justice and the history of Ireland.
