Communism, Spanish Civil War, Octavio Paz, Eudocio RavinesAbstract
In 1950, the “cultural Cold War” began in England with the publication of The God that Failed, a collection of testimonies by six intellectuals who spoke of their activism as Communists –or their as “fellow travellers” of Communism– in terms of faith and apostasy. For four of these intellectuals, the Spanish Civil War was a key event in their narration. This article examines the autobiographical accounts by Octavio Paz and Eudocio Ravines, both of whom travelled to Spain during the Civil War, as Spanish American versiones of this same almost religious experience of Communism.Downloads
