Authors: Erika and Klaus Mann.
Presentation and colloquium on Thursday 18 September at 7 pm at the Instituto Goethe about the book The miracle of Spain. Chronicles of a trip in 1938, written by the brothers Erika and Klaus Mann. Free admission up to capacity.
When the Spanish Civil War broke out, Erika and Klaus Mann, young and clearly anti-fascist, were already living in exile. As Germans, moreover, they felt especially involved in a war in which the rebels received military aid from Hitler and Mussolini. The children of then-Nobel Prize winner Thomas Mann travelled to Spain in 1938 and spent three weeks in trenches and cafés, from Barcelona to Madrid, documenting hospitals, shelters, makeshift schools and war theatres.
From this stay and conversations with soldiers, writers, mothers and children are born these chronicles that are collected under the title of El milagro de España, published for the first time in Spanish thanks to the editorial Edhasa with edition and foreword by Ana Pérez López, academic researcher on German literature and the Spanish Civil War and the rigorous translation of the winners of the National Translation Prize, Isabel García Adánez and Carlos Fortea. Presentation and colloquium by the three specialists in German literature and culture.
