About the work
Synopsis:
Echoes of War and Freedom: A Summer of Secrets
"Bombs sound and smell the same everywhere."
As Madrid teeters on the brink of Franco's conquest, Enrique, a philosophy professor at the Institución Libre de Enseñanza, flees to France. Escaping the horrors of the Spanish Civil War, he is soon thrust into the humiliating Nazi invasion.
After the liberation of Paris and the fall of Nazism, Enrique revels in the euphoria of freedom. Immersed in an intellectual atmosphere and passionate love with a liberated woman, he finds these overpower his sense of duty and loyalty to his family. Enrique, a philosopher laden with contradictions, refuses to look back, convinced that Spain still simmers with rage, hatred, fear, and vengeance.
Years later, Enrique meets his only grandson, Luis, for the first time. Together, they experience an unforgettable summer filled with joy, intense emotions, and heart-wrenching tragedy.
Antonio Bustamante’s novel defies genre boundaries. It's not a thriller, yet it's filled with suspense. It's not a historical novel, although set in one of Spain and Europe's darkest periods. It's not a romance, but it overflows with love and tenderness.
