Purchase options and add-ons

Cutting through much of the self-serving mythology and idealism that has sprung up around accounts of the Spanish Civil War, Ferran Planes offers a straightforward, clear-eyed description of events during that tumultuous time. As a lieutenant in the Republican Army, and later as a Catalan exile in France, Planes witnessed firsthand the effects of the war and the founding of the Second Republic on everyday citizens. His tragicomic and iconoclastic depiction of events often reads like a work of picaresque literature or an adventure novel as he weaves an unforgettable narrative of the war.

En "El desbarajuste" Ferran Planes recoge sus vivencias durante el exilio, la guerra civil española y la segunda república. «Me proponía encabezar este libro con otro título: “La coña”. Reconozco que no lograba encontrar otro que encajara», estas palabras con las que Planes empieza el libro son toda una declaración de intenciones: lejos de mixtificaciones y versiones idílicas de lo sucedido, el autor hace un relato sincero de su experiencia, sin preocuparse por quedar en buen lugar. El testimonio de Planes es tragicómico e iconoclasta, más cercano a la literatura picaresca o a la novela de aventuras que a unas memorias al uso. Ni se cree en posesión de la verdad ni habla con voz engolada: su visión está a ras de tierra, es la de las personas que como él soportaron con parsimonia las difíciles circunstancias históricas de la época. Publicado por primera vez en 1968 y muy bien recibido por la crítica, el libro fue boicoteado por contradecir la versión mítica que distintos próceres catalanes habían ofrecido de su actuación durante la guerra y el exilio. En 2011 se reeditó en catalán rescatando los pasajes que habían sido eliminados por la censura y ahora se publica por primera vez en castellano.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"An impressive narrative voice; one of the best accounts of the Republic, the war, and the exile, which in certain passages has the force of a great novel about shattered illusions." —La Vanguardia

About the Author

Ferran Planes was a member of the Republican press and a lieutenant in the Spanish Republican Armed Forces during the Spanish Civil War. He was forced to flee Spain in 1939 and spent time in the Saint-Cyprien internment camp in France, during which he worked on the construction of the Maginot Line, and later in a German labor camp in Alsace. He returned to Spain in the mid-1940s. Carlos Manzano is a translator best known for his translation of Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time to Spanish.
