""A Critical Companion to Jorge Semprun: Buchenwald, Before and After" explores the life and work of Spanish Buchenwald survivor, author, and communist leader-turned-apostate, Jorge Semprun (1923-2011). Semprun led an extraordinary and risky life; he suffered and actively fought against Stalinism, Nazism, and Francoism. As a novelist, autobiographer, screenwriter, playwright, and essayist, his oeuvre grapples with the responsibility that surviving and deciphering paradigm-shattering historical events entails. This volume explores his cultural production in all its manifestations, across diverse languages and genres."@en
