First published in the newspaper 'Ahora' in 1931, this book is a masterful report on the dramatic lives of the two million people who were forced to flee Russia after the 1917 Revolution. Through interviews conducted in Paris, Manuel Chaves Nogales portrays the experiences of aristocrats, politicians, military personnel, and artists who, having lost everything, found themselves scattered across the world in poverty. Combining journalistic rigor with a novelistic narrative, this work offers a historically significant account of the consequences of the Russian Revolution and the subsequent civil war. It is a fundamental piece of 20th-century Spanish literature, noted for its ability to capture the human drama behind major historical events.
Manuel Chaves Nogales was a Spanish journalist and writer. Politically he was a moderate left-wing republican democrat who defined himself as "antifascist and antirevolutionary". As such, he was an enthusiastic supporter of the Second Spanish Republic.
