Résumé du livre

"As an exile in London in 1939, when even 'the word liberty sounded ironical', Arturo Barea embarked on the autobiographical trilogy, The Forging of a Rebel. Comprising of three great books - The Forge, The Track and The Clash - The Forging of a Rebel has since come to be recognized as one of the keystones of modern Spanish literature. It is a remarkable portrait of Spain moving into the twentieth century, but seemingly little-changed since Napoleon's invasion, when Barea's grandmother was a small child. A brilliant scholarship boy, able to move between the echelons of Spanish society - witnessing at first hand, for instance, Franco's rise in Morocco during the Riff War - whilst remaining true to the lessons and allegiances of his childhood as the son of a poor widow in Madrid, Barea offers a unique insight into the profound divisions and inequalities that eventually culminated in the Spanish Civil War.
