This volume is a fundamental analysis for understanding the American writer's ties with Republican Spain and his subsequent reception, during the post-war years, by General Franco's government. The first three chapters examine the literary and historical allusions to Spain in some of his works, his political and literary relationship with Rafael Alberti and the reception of the writer in the light of his ideology. The last five chapters offer and explain the Spanish documents, deposited in the General Administration Archive in Alcalá de Henares, which testify how the Francoist government always considered Hemingway a communist writer and, therefore, dangerous and subject to censorship.
