Zustand: Nuevo. La Niña Bonita y Róisín Dubh Un pequeño grupo de irlandeses que se alistó en las Brigadas Internacionales tuvo que salir de su país discretamente y sin ruido. No los respaldaba el pueblo, iban contra corriente. En el resto de los países democráticos, incluso allí donde había un gobierno conservador en el poder, el ciudadano de a pie estaba del lado de la República. Se contaba con el apoyo moral y la simpatía de los sindicatos y las clases medias progresistas. En Inglaterra y Francia grandes manifestaciones exigían el fin de la política de no intervención, que prohibía al gobierno legítimo de España comprar armas y material bélico para la defensa de la República.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The first English-language translation of the memoirs of Eugene Downing. Eugene Downing (1913-2003) was not your usual Irish brigader: a communist from his teenage years, an urbanized skilled worker, and an Irish language enthusiast. Downing had no immediate Republican record, joining the communist Workers Groups in Dublin just out of his apprenticeship as an electrician. Despite this backdrop, Downing spent nine months in the International Brigades Spain before being invalided home (amputated lower left leg) in December 1938. One Foot in a Spanish Grave: Eugene Downing's Memoir of the International Brigades in Spain--published in the Irish language as La Nina Bonita agus An Róisín Dubh: Cuimhní Cinn ar Chogadh Cathartha na Spáinne--has been long worthy of a translation into English. The structure of the original Irish text has been altered slightly, with some appendices omitted. Translated by Micheál Ó hAodha, edited and introduced by Barry McLoughlin, One Foot in a Spanish Grave begins with Brendan Byrne, Eugene's nephew, sharing his memories of a highly non-conformist uncle. Downing's portrayal of life in the International Brigades is often humorous, greatly generous when judging others, but ultimately critical of political zealotry. He proves himself to be a wry observer of his fellow volunteers and of his own youthful militancy in the virulently anti-communist Dublin of the 1930s.…
