Enjoying wide-ranging support among both the urban and rural working class, its importance peaked during its \"brief summer\"--the civil war between the Republic and General Franco's Falangists, during which anarchists even participated in the government of Catalonia. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnarchy's Brief Summer\u003c\/i\u003e brings anarchism to life by focusing on the charismatic leader Buenaventura Durruti (1896-1936), who became a key figure in the Spanish Civil War after a militant and adventurous youth. The basis of the book is a compilation of texts: personal testimony, interviews with survivors, contemporary documents, memoirs, and academic assessments. They are all linked by Enzenberger's own assessment in a series of glosses--a literary form that is somewhere between retelling and reconstruction--with the contradiction between fiction and fact reflecting the political contradictions of the Spanish Revolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hans Magnus Enzensberger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1803091819\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781803091815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seagull Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.20w x 1.50d","brand":"Hans Magnus Enzensberger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44080371433727,"sku":"9781803091815","price":24.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8aaa72b4-7ae7-4079-a269-5dc819796dbb.jpg?v=1685486431","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/anarchys-brief-summer-hans-magnus-enzensberger-9781803091815","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
