Born into the rhythms of land and labor, he comes of age amid the shifting tides of a Europe on the brink of war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuided by his uncle Paco, tested by friendship and rivalry at the San Vicente School, and shaped by the discipline of work and faith, Plácido learns that knowledge alone is not enough-it must serve compassion. As he matures into manhood, his life intertwines with that of Ibai, Esteban, and others whose loyalties are tested by conscience, class, and the gathering storm of the Great War. He must also find balance between inner peace and the challenges brought on by the influenza pandemic, powerful land barons, and the rising unrest that will culminate in the Spanish Civil War.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the red-roofed farmhouses of the Pyrenees to the shipyards of San Sebastián, from the field hospitals of France to cities ravaged by influenza and, finally, to the unsettling dangers of the Spanish Civil War, \u003ci\u003ePlácido\u003c\/i\u003e captures the timeless struggle between duty and destiny, family and freedom. It is a story of roots and wings-of how one young man's pursuit of purpose becomes a mirror of the Basque spirit itself: resilient, humble, and unyielding in the face of change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ron Flores\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798994788707\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ronald Monroig\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 502\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.01d","brand":"Ron Flores","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623593586943,"sku":"9798994788707","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/placido-ron-flores-9798994788707","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
