Seller's Description:
Very Good jacket. New York. 1972. June 1972. Pantheon Books. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0394479416. 238 pages. hardcover. keywords: History Spain. DESCRIPTION-The moving chronicle of a man's incredible, generation-long concealment, IN HIDING is the story of Manuel Cortes, the mayor of a village near Malaga before its fall to Franco's forces during the Spanish Civil War. In 1969, following an amnesty declaration by the government, the mayor came out of hiding-thirty years' incarceration in his own home, time often passed literally in nooks and crannies of a wall. On one level this is the simple and dramatic story of his and his wife's and daughter's everyday toil to earn their livelihood, to keep up the outward appearance of normal lives, to withstand searches, interrogations, fire and sickness without giving away their mortal secret. As such it is a testimony to man's infinite resourcefulness and capacity for survival. On a second level, this is a rousing account by an exceptional man of sixty years of Spanish history that touched his life, a knowing and humane depiction of the social and human texture of village life and politics that formed the bedrock of agrarian Spain. inventory #3473.
