Notes

  • Author's note: On 12 October 1936, during the first year of the Spanish Civil War, Nationalist soldiers, supporters and sympathisers gathered in conquered territory at the University of Salamanca to celebrate Columbus’ discovery of the Americas (which he believed to be Asia). They were addressed by several speakers, including the rector of the university, the distinguished philosopher, novelist and poet Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936)

    'B N Oakman's deceptively conversational tone and wry humour complement writing that is elegant, sometimes confronting, and which shuns obscurity in favour of clarity. He elicits feeling through style, phrasing and understatement rather than by imposing emotion. You'll be drawn into topics ranging from the socio-economic to the personal - the ekphrastic to football - the political to the historical.' (Publication summary)
