Requirements: MOBI Reader, 2 mb
Overview: “One of Spain’s best younger novelists… Mr Cercas has written a persuasive, brilliant and absorbing book that has more contemporary resonance than even he might have imagined.” —Economist
“The best history book of the year.” —Felipe Fernández-Armesto, Times Literary Supplement
In February 1981, Spain was still emerging from Franco’s shadow, holding a democratic vote for the new prime minister. On the day of the vote in Parliament, while the session was being filmed by TV cameras, a band of right-wing soldiers burst in with automatic weapons, ordering everyone to get down. Only three men defied the order. For thirty-five minutes, as the cameras rolled, they stayed in their seats.
The Anatomy of a Moment caused a sensation upon its publication in Spain, selling hundreds of thousands of copies. The story will be new to many American readers, but the book stands resolutely on its own as a compelling literary inquest of national myth, personal memory, political spectacle, and reality itself.
