The Anarchist Who Shared My Name

When Pablo Martn Snchez discovers that he shares his name with a Spanish anarchist who was executed in 1924 for the attempted overthrow of Primo de Riveras dictatorship, he sets out to reconstruct his life story. Through references to key events in Europes history, including the sinking of the Titanic and the Battle of Verdun, and the influence of intellectuals such as Miguel de Unamuno and Victor Blasco Ibaez, The Anarchist Who Shared My Name elegantly captures the life of a man who sought to resist political injustice and paid the ultimate price for his protest. Martn Snchezs thrilling tale is the unsettling chronicle of a dark chapter in Spanish history, as courageous as it is timely.
