Under the title of one of the most outstanding stories, this volume publishes the stories that Max Aub wrote about the civil war, concentration camps and exile. Belonging to the testimonial aspect of Auban prose, these stories narrate the vicissitudes of the men and women who lived through the historical tragedy of the civil war. Like the novels of El Laberinto, these stories recreate historical events such as the path of exile through La Junquera, the French and Algerian concentration camps, or exile in Mexican lands. A motley world of men adrift parades through its pages, fictional characters intermingled with those of historical reality. The whole constitutes a bitter reflection on Spain and a debate on the past and its consequences. The reader will find in these masterful pages an artist who owns an extraordinary expressive richness and a thematic depth that moves.
Max Aub Mohrenwitz was a Mexican-Spanish experimentalist novelist, playwright, poet, and literary critic. In 1965 he founded the literary periodical Los Sesenta, with editors that included the poets Jorge Guillén and Rafael Alberti.
