Ricardo Carvalho Calero in the Resistance Movement During the Spanish Civil War and Post-Civil War Period (1936-1980)

Abstract

This work examines different times in the life and professional and intellectual trajectory of Ricardo Carvalho Calero over the four and a half decades ranging from the late 1930s (marked by the uprising of 1936) to the 1970s and the end the Franco dictatorship (marked by the death of the dictator in 1975). It provides an overview of the author, confirming the coherence of a personality that adapts to the various circumstances of war, dictatorship and the transition to democracy. It analyses antifascist resistance against repression in the defence of the Republic through arms and survival in prison and inner exile through writing.
