The Spanish Civil War: Blood and Ink—in Spanish

When Spain’s army mutinied against the Second Republic in 1936, it marked the beginning of a bitter civil war that lasted three years and cost one million Spanish lives. In this program, respected authorities elaborate on the writings and personalities of those who captured this devastating period in poetry and prose. Dramatic readings include excerpts from Rafael Alberti’s "Romancero General de la Guerra," Antonio Machado’s "Muerte de un Niño Herido," José María Pemán’s "De Ellos Es el Mundo" and "Poema de la Bestia y el Angel," and Miguel Hernández’ Viento del Pueblo. (Spanish, 50 minutes)
