Antonio Hernández Palacios, with a spectacular graphic display, narrates two unforgettable stories that portray the day-to-day life of the conflict from a human perspective, far removed from the great strategists. The reader will find a visual chronicle of unusual raw beauty, where the protagonists are common people trapped in a war they did not choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is set in 1936, when war spreads like wildfire through the Basque Country and Navarre. Through the figure of Gorka, a young man who participates in the fighting from Pamplona, the reader witnesses the conflict from the trenches, without forced epic or heroism. The narrative focuses on the everyday experiences of the soldiers: the cold, the lice, the small anecdotes, and the disasters that mark their path. Hernández Palacios, based on real, anonymous people, constructs a low-level account, where personal commitment and survival take precedence over any political or military ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe Spanish Civil War on the Basque-Navarrese front.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe experience of the ordinary soldier and life in the trenches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical memory and the recovery of the stories of anonymous people.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eInternal conflict and social division during the war.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGraphic realism as a tool for denunciation and testimony.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis comic is aimed at readers passionate about historical graphic novels and non-fiction comics, especially those interested in the Spanish Civil War from a social and human perspective.
