The Anarchist Who Shared My Name
The Anarchist Who Shared My Name | Pablo Martín Sánchez
2 posts | 1 read
When Pablo Martín Sánchez discovers that he shares his name with a Spanish anarchist who was executed in 1924 for the attempted overthrow of Primo de Rivera’s dictatorship, he sets out to reconstruct his life story. Through references to key events in Europe’s history, including the sinking of the Titanic and the Battle of Verdun, and the influence of intellectuals such as Miguel de Unamuno and Victor Blasco Ibañez, The Anarchist Who Shared My Name elegantly captures the life of a man who sought to resist political injustice and paid the ultimate price for his protest. Martín Sánchez’s thrilling tale is the unsettling chronicle of a dark chapter in Spanish history, as courageous as it is timely.

Pablo Martín Sánchez recounts the life of an anarchist who shares his name in this interesting book.
I liked how it was constructed, going back and forth to get a better understanding of his life, and of the political situation of the time.
It's easy to read; even if I know close to nothing about Spanish history I never felt lost.
It's easy to get attached to the characters; they are well developed so that we can understand them well.

It's a little after 5 am in Nanterre, France. As I'm jetlagged, and unable to sleep, I decided to just get up, make a cup of tea, and read while waiting for other people to get up. For breakfast, I have something to look forward to: the raspberry tart will be mine ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
The whole house is quiet, isn't it a perfect time to read? Sometimes being jetlagged has its perks ;)
