«Una veritat difícil» is the historical essay by Santi Vancells about Walter Benjamin in Portbou, published by Comanegra in paperback (280 pages, in Catalan).
Santi Vancells, who was a doctor in Portbou, argues that Walter Benjamin did not die from a morphine overdose and that the official account of his suicide is wrong. Based on this thesis, the book combines history, true crime and psychological novel to investigate the philosopher's last days at the border, the complicity of Francoism with Nazi persecution and the attitude of the Catalans who witnessed those events.
It is number 6 of the Espores collection by Comanegra, published in 2022; the original text is in Catalan.
For readers of historical essays and true crime, interested in Walter Benjamin, Nazism and historical memory.
