A prodigious book of memoirs that serves as both an accurate portrait of Spain before and after the war and a fascinating look at the Baroja family of intellectuals and artists. The book is divided into two parts: the first focuses on the author's childhood and family figures like his uncle Pío Baroja, while the second covers his professional evolution in anthropology and history between 1936 and 1956.
Julio Caro Baroja was a Spanish anthropologist, historian, linguist and essayist. He was known for his special interest in Basque culture, Basque history and Basque society. Of Basque ancestry, he was the nephew of the renowned writer Pio Baroja and his brother, painter, writer and engraver Ricardo Baroja. He is buried in the family plot of the cemetery of Bera, Navarre, near their home, Itzea.
