!No Pasaran! Zusammenfassung

!No Pasaran!: Writings from the Spanish Civil War Pete Ayrton

The Spanish Civil War captured the imaginations of writers and readers around the world. !No Pasaran! collects thirty-eight of the most vivid, poignant stories to come out of the conflict, by writers from across the political, geographical and artistic spectrum. The writers include celebrated international figures such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Leonardo Sciascia and Victor Serge and well known British and American observers such as George Orwell, Gamel Woolsey, Langston Hughes and Muriel Rukeyser. Uniquely, where previous collections privileged the writings of the International Brigades, !No Pasaran! draws most heavily on writers from Spain itself - including Merce Rodoreda, Javier Cercas and Luis Bunuel. !No Pasaran! is the essential anthology of Spain's Civil War writing, and allows the reader to witness life and death, hope and despair at the front lines of one of the century's most bitter wars.

!No Pasaran! Bewertungen

In this superb, shattering book of testimonies, Pete Ayrton has organised the best of all introductions to the Spanish Civil War -- Neal Ascherson
These pieces bring home the visceral nature of the Spanish conflict, a clash of ideologies that defined a generation and continues to reverberate today * New Internationalist *
With every page the reader learns and appreciates more, with deeper insight than previously, about the true nature of the war * Morning Star *
!No Pasaran! evokes to perfection this most 'impossible' of wars - only through such outstanding writing can we understand what these wars really meant, and cost -- Helen Graham, author of The Spanish Civil War: A Very Short Introduction
With a judicious mixture of famous and recondite pieces, admirably translated by a well selected team, the editor offers a touching blend of humour and pathos, reality and artifice * Times Literary Supplement *

Über Pete Ayrton

Pete Ayrton was born in London in 1943. After studying and briefly teaching philosophy, a period of left-wing tourism in France and Italy led to his learning to read and converse in these languages, and to take part in the intense, opaque discourses of Marxism. A period of work as translator led to a job as editor with Pluto Press and to his founding in 1986 of Serpent's Tail with the specific remit of publishing fiction in translation. No Man's Land, his anthology of First World War writing, was published in 2014, and REVOLUTION!, his anthology of writing from the Russian Revolution, is published by Harbour Books.
