"Requiem per un campesino espanol" was first published under the title Mosen Millan in Coleccion Aquelarre,Mexico, 1953. The present text follows the first Spanish edition published by Destino, Barcelona, 1974, which bears a few minor variants, mainly in paragraph structure. It has been reprinted a number of times and translated into many languages and is one of the most widely read Spanish texts in the 20th century. This edition is aimed primarily at sixth-formers and university undergraduates and the introduction and notes have been compiled in the light of recent socio-politial topic-based syllabuses and communication studies courses. The inclusion in the introduction of a substantial section on the now out-of-print "Contraataque" (1937), the wartime narrative which contains the germ of the post-war novel, is intended to provide the student with a context for the study of the process in Sender's writing inspired by the Civil War - from explicit militant propaganda penned in the heat of battle to implicit poetic parable, historical emotion recollected in the comparative tranquillity and distance of exile. It is hoped that such a juxtaposition will illuminate both the content and literary achievement of "Requiem".

Un palacio aristocrático madrileño en los días anteriores a la guerra civil española. El exhibicionismo erótico de la ama de casa, la duquesa de Arlanza, hiere el sentimiento ético del jardinero, el último siervo en la escala de valores feudales que rige aún en la época. Pero el 18 de julio de 1936 supondrá el inicio de una inversión de las relaciones sociales: los milicianos ocupan el palacio en el que la duquesa permanece escondida. La trama es de una barroca complejidad, estructural y temática, y de una sugerente densidad alegórica: la duquesa es el ideal, la España tradicional; Rómulo, el jardinero, es el español elemental, heroico, fuerte, que ambiciona poseer el arriesgado ideal...y lo único que hace es destruirlo. Sin embargo, no se trata de un relato de afirmación política, sino de una historia de afirmación humana: la servidumbre desaparece pero lo importante para el protagonista es "salvar" a la duquesa, convertirse en rey junto a una reina inaccesible.

Réquiem por un campesino español

Editorial Espasa-Calpe

Siete domingos rojos narra el desarrollo de una huelga ge°©neral convocada como protesta por la muerte de tres obreros en un altercado contra la policía, que intentaba suspender un mitin anarcosindicalista. El significado del título es evidente: siete no son sólo los días de una semana, es el número mágico y bíblico; en domingo no se trabaja, hay una tarea extraordinaria, la creación del mundo nuevo revolu°©cionario; rojos por la violencia, la muerte y la generosidad de la entrega. Durante una semana la vida cotidiana de Ma°©drid se ve colapsada y alterada por los disturbios y la repre°©sión; el tiroteo que enfrenta a los revolucionarios con policía, esquiroles y confidentes es constante. A la sombra de las balas, se organiza el entramado de las relaciones amorosas y de compañerismo entre los cuatro protagonistas [...].

Réquiem por un campesino español, a short, elegant and moving account of the tragic effects of the Spanish Civil War on a small Aragonese population, is often called Ramón J. Sender's greatest masterpiece. It was the author's own favorite book and -in his own words- of all his novels it is "the simplest, and the most universal". This characteristic of "universality" flows through all Sender's writings, while he manages to still be the most Spanish of the generation that began to write just before the onset of the Spanish Civil War of 1936-39. As a journalist who allied himself with the Republican side in the Spanish civil war, Sender (1901-82) was a privileged eyewitness to Spain's struggle, suffering and defeat, a situation he continued to write about after he left Spain in 1938. While his texts are considered essential source material by historians of this era, at the same time, the anguish and pain, losses and victories of the profoundly Spanish characters are portrayed as universal emotions and experiences that continue to move readers of all nationalities. Within Hispanic literature, Réquiem por un campesino español (first published in Mexico in 1953, banned in Spain for many years) is considered to stand on a par with Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea within North American literature. Both are brief and profound, and recount intense, dramatic stories that initially seem uncomplicated. They are both important novels that in their brevity and apparent simplicity continue to resonate with essential truths. Three qualities of the novel are emphasized in the essay by Prof. Borja Rodríguez Gutiérrez that introduces this edition: the story's meticulous, mathematical structure devised by a self aware writer; its use of reiteration of certain key elements; and the carefully structured allegory with which it transmits its denunciation of the injustice and treachery that underlie history. The careful lexicographic notes included will help the modern reader grasp the plot in all its dramatic, Spanish, intensity.
