Originally published in June 1931, Fermin Galan, Political Biography corresponded to the enormous popularity of Fermin Galan, a legendary figure after having led the Jaca uprising, and whose unjust execution, along with that of his companion Angel Garcia Hernandez, moved the national conscience and contributed, a few months later, to the Proclamation of the Republic.Despite its momentary significance, the book, its protagonist and the author-narrators, Joaquin Arderius and Jose Diaz Fernandez were marginalized during the decades of the Franco dictatorship, up to the point of becoming forgotten.Hence, the relevance of the current publication of the Biography with its two wings of the genre, the historical and the novel, written by two accomplished narrators, who were considered standard bearers of an Advanced Literature, which emerged in Spain in the second half of the 1920s, a dialectical overcoming of the avant-garde and confronted with the so-called dehumanization of art.The book, introduced as a testimony of a new generation of 1930, covers the years 1924-1930, of Fermin Galans political activity, in which the Political Biography focuses, grouped in a series of chronotopes in which its history took place: Morocco Madrid, Montjuich Prison Castle, Barcelona, Jaca and province.This edition, with a profuse Introduction and footnotes that complete the dense historical, cultural and social material, has been prepared by the renowned Spaanish Literature critic, Victor Fuentes, professor emeritus at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
