«¡Muera la inteligencia! ¡Viva la muerte!» is the historical essay by Carlos Rojas, published by Planeta in paperback (293 pages, in Spanish).
In October 1936, at the University of Salamanca, Miguel de Unamuno, despite having supported the military uprising, denounces the barbarism of the Civil War. General Millán Astray replies «¡Muera la inteligencia! ¡Viva la muerte!», and Unamuno answers that the rebels will win by brute force, but will not convince because they lack reason.
The essay, subtitled «Salamanca, 1936, Unamuno y Millán Astray frente a frente», belongs to number 6 of the collection Memoria de la Historia / Siglo XX.
Suitable for readers of contemporary Spanish history and for those studying the Civil War and the intellectual figure of Unamuno.
