Portrait of an Unknown Man

Manuel Azaña and Modern Spain

Originally published by the Mexican publisher Oasis in 1961 and later, in 1980, by the Spanish publisher Grijalbo, Retrato de un desconocido: Vida de Manuel Azaña is the most complete and ambitious biography of the last president of the Spanish Republic. While it is true that its author, Cipriano Rivas Cherif, Azaña's brother-in-law, offers a vision of the character forged from admiration and affection, no one had better access to the daily life and existing documentation on one of the most cultured and least known politicians in the history of Spain.

Work Description

Publicada originalmente por la editorial mexicana Oasis en 1961 y posteriormente, en 1980, por la española Grijalbo, Retrato de un desconocido: Vida de Manuel Azaña es la biografía más completa y ambiciosa sobre el último presidente de la República española. Si bien es cierto que su autor, Cipriano Rivas Cherif, cuñado de Azaña, ofrece una visión del personaje forjada desde la admiración y el afecto, nadie tuvo mejor acceso a la vida cotidiana y a la documentación existente sobre uno de los políticos más cultos y menos conocidos de la historia de España.
