Presentación de la obra

‘Yo, Manuel Azaña’. This is not a biography, nor is it a play. Neither is it fiction. It is a work that combines several narrative genres out of which emerges the voice of the President of the Second Republic of Spain to defend democracy and to condemn the monstrosity that the Spaniards are facing that is causing so much pain. Manuel Azaña brilliantly analyzes the principal accomplishments of his time: the difficulties in consolidating democracy, the armed attack against the Republic, the irresponsible actions of England and France, the critical milestones of the war, the bitter destruction of its adversaries, the uncooperative actions of the Nationalists, the necessity of obtaining an honorable peace, the bitterness of exile, dialogue, and, sometimes, to disagree with Diego Martínez Barrio, Francisco Largo Caballero, Indalecio Prieto, Juan Negrín, José Giral, Luis Companys and other principal figures of the greatest tragedy of contemporary Spain. Yo, Manuel Azaña.
