Readings From Ramón Sender's The Magnet

We briefly explain the relationship between the Rif War and the rise of Spanish fascism, and read excerpts from The Magnet.


The Magnet is almost here! The GFE team will be republishing Ramón Sender’s legendary book Imán in English for the first time in almost 90 years, and all of you get a front row seat! In this special sneak preview, we present a brief analysis of the Rif War as a catalyst for Spanish fascism and the proto-existentialist bent of the novel, followed by excerpts from the book describing the conditions of the poor peasantry of Spain and the painful realities of war.

Hosted by Liam, and Russian Sam.
