«Viviré con su nombre, morirá con el mío» is the novel by Jorge Semprún, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (236 pages, in Spanish).
Buchenwald, winter 1944: a Gestapo message summons the deportee Jorge Semprún. The communist prisoners intercept the message and decide to hide it behind the identity of a dying man. That memory serves Semprún to evoke life in the camp, solidarity and betrayal, occupied Paris, the Resistance and his childhood in Madrid.
The work, originally published in French as «Le Mort qu'il faut», received in 2001 the Prix Jean-Monnet de littérature européenne du département de Charente and the Prix des Charmettes.
For readers of memoiristic narrative and testimonies about concentration camps and the Resistance.
Jorge Semprún Maura was a Spanish writer and politician who lived in France most of his life and wrote primarily in French. From 1953 to 1962, during the dictatorship of Francisco Franco, Semprún lived clandestinely in Spain working as an organizer for the exiled Communist Party of Spain, but was expelled from the party in 1964. After the death of Franco and the change to a democratic government, he served as Minister of Culture in Spain's socialist government from 1988 to 1991.
