The novel depicts the war in all its brutal complexity and offers no clear partisan message. As the great Spanish writer Juan Goytisolo noted in his introduction to one of the novel's many editions, Salas \"bases his thinking not on certain facts, but on a life exposed to the absurdity of the world, to its cavalcade of blood, death, and injustice.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe novel is divided into four parts, but its focus remains the war, presented from the perspective of the defeated. Published in the 1950s, the work was censored in fascist Spain and was not published in its entirety in the author's homeland until 1971. Because of the novel's power, its author has been compared to Dostoevsky.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eJoan Salas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eJoan Salas was born in 1912 and fought with the Republicans during the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s.
