To read Iman (1930) by Ramon J. Sender is to sail into a
vertiginous trip within the darkest aspects of the human being. A
man, a soldier striving to survive along endless days and nights in
a desert landscape, without further protection besides his scarce
strengths, surrounded by death, violence, horror. A shockingly
compelling novel, both harsh and beautiful, written in a prose that
attains lyricism heights seldom seen in war novels, that has the
power to immerse the reader into the nameless world that lies
beyond the madness frontier. With this, his first novel Ramon J.
Sender (Spain 1901- USA 1982) immediately became one of the most
important XX Century Spanish novelists. Iman, a novel full of
aggravation provoked by the senseless powers that ruled Spain,
sympathetic towards those who died, accuser against those who took
advantage of the young lives of the Spanish people, played a key
role in the Spanish monarchy fall and the subsequent arrival of the
Republic. But its literary and universal claim values make it stand
as the chronicle of the unleashed barbarism inherent to each and
every war. Almost a century after the narrated episodes it still
makes for a reading that leaves no room for indifference. In this
edition the introductory study by Borja Rodriguez Gutierrez and the
footnotes allow the modern reader to grasp and enjoy the Sender
text in its full masterpiece magnitude.
