The present paper examines the political ideology of a group of Pontevedra boys who participated in the creation of the Benito Soto book collection. Eight out of its fourteen published books were writen in Galician. The book Musa alemá, a Galician translation of an anthology of poems by German writers, was published in 1951 but the edition was banned by the Spanish censorship. Apparently, all the books of Musa alemá were burned and Sabino Torres, the editor responsible, was penalized by the authorities. The writer of this paper questions the story about the clandestinity of the collection and the burning of the books of Musa alemá.
