Description

On 19 August 1936, Hercules the boxer stands on the quayside at Coruna and watches Fascist soldiers piling up books and setting them alight. Out of this incident during the early months of Spain's tragic civil war, the author weaves a tapestry of stories and unforgettable characters to create a panorama of twentieth-century Spanish history.
