En Media Hora La Muerte / Death in Half an Hour [Spanish]

By Francisco Martín Moreno

« Qu? nos quedaba?:

El fascismo alem?n o el fascismo espa?ol... A eso se reduc?a la oferta pol?itica de los a?os treinta. Y la democr?cia? adios a la Rep?blica espa?ola: trendr?amos que escoger entre dos dictaduras, con todas sus consecuencias...

Ante la inesperada confesi?n de un secreto celosamente guardado, se desata la poderosa necesidad por descubrir las raices e historias de dos familias separadas por la religi?n, la georgraf?a, el idioma y su visi?n del mundo y de la vida. Ser? la Guerra Civil Espa?ola, y posteriormente la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la traum?tica experiencia que las har? coincidir en el doloroso exilio, tras terribles vivencias de horror y desconsuelo. Ya en M?xico, en el destierro habr?n de encontrar un nuevo sentido a su existencia.

Francisco Mart?n Moreno, hijo de refugiados, indaga con la disciplina del investigador y la pasi?n caracter?stica del novelista la historia de su familia, descubriendo complicidades, traiciones, ausencias irreparables y estremecedores amor?os que, en gran parte, definieron su destino.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"What did we have left?

German fascism or Spanish fascism... That's what the political bid of the 1930s was reduced to. And what about democracy? Goodbye to the Spanish Republic: we would have to choose between two dictatorships, with all their consequences..."

Faced with the unexpected confession of a closely guarded secret, the powerful need to discover the roots and stories of two families separated by religion, geography, language and their vision of the world and life is unleashed. It will be the Spanish Civil War, and later the Second World War, the traumatic experience that will make them coincide in painful exile, after terrible experiences of horror and grief. Already in Mexico, in exile they will have to find a new meaning to their existence.

Francisco Mart?n Moreno, son of refugees, investigates, with the discipline of a researcher and the passion characteristic of a novelist, the history of his family, discovering collusions, betrayals, irreparable absences and shocking love affairs that, to a large extent, defined his destiny.
