    Javier Arzuaga was a boy when he was sent to the priesthood by his devoutly Catholic and traditional parents. He took to the priesthood reluctantly, and, after his vows, he was sent to Cuba, where he lived through the revolution of 1959 with elation. His parish included La Cabaña, the fortress prison where the accomplices of the deposed dictator who had not fled the island were held. It was his fate to be present at each of the fifty-five executions carried out between February and May of 1959. And he did not witness the events as a spectator, but as the consoler of and attendant to the condemned men. "It is not easy to talk to a man with a death sentence," Javier used to say-and he had to speak with fifty-five.

  • av Antonio Tovar
    363,-

    This small book on ideas about the nature and origin of the Basque language up to the early twentieth century is a highly erudite essay, even if the motivation for its composition was ultimately political. Its erudition is guaranteed by the professional credentials of its author, Antonio Tovar, one of twentieth-century Spain's most polymathic intellectuals and men of letters, at the same time that its reason for being was the fruit of his passionate political commitment, which originated in his early years and, modulated over the course of his life by criticism and experience, led him to take an interest in all aspects of public life, especially those related to culture. At the crucial moment of the book's composition, near the death of the dictator Francisco Franco in 1975, there was a need for actors with a sincere desire to understand the ideas and aspirations of the opposing sides, broad-minded and generous openness when it came to revising their own decades-old views, and perceptive intelligence for building connections with the proponents of other ideologies on the basis of shared humanist values. Tovar was one of these men.
