«Réquiem por un campesino español» is the short novel by Ramón J. Sender, published by Ediciones Destino in paperback (104 pages, in Spanish).
In an Aragonese village during the Spanish Civil War, the priest Mosén Millán waits to officiate a mass for the soul of a young man he loved like a son. While waiting, he recalls how his mediation to save the boy, who had taken refuge in the hills, only served to hand him over to his executioners. The narration is sober.
Work originally published in 1953 under the title «Mosén Millán». It belongs to the Áncora y Delfín Collection, volume 460.
For readers of contemporary and historical Spanish fiction, with an interest in the Civil War period.
