Originally published in June 1931, 'Fermín Galán, Political Biography'  corresponded to the enormous popularity of Fermín Galán, a legendary figure after having led the Jaca uprising, and whose unjust execution,  along with that of his companion Angel García Hernández, 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, Joaquín Arderíus and José Díaz Fernández 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 Fermín Galán?s 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, Víctor Fuentes, professor emeritus at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
