A contemporary of Lorca and Buñuel in Spain's Second Republic, Max Aub escaped into a life of exile after General Franco seized Barcelona. His masterpiece, acknowledged in Spain as one of the best accounts of the Spanish Civil War, is the five-novel cycle known as The Magic Labyrinth--never before translated into English. A playwright as well as a novelist, he brings the period alive through vibrant dialogue and a story that navigates the factional intrigues that eventually erupted onto the streets in violence. The protagonist of the first novel is Rafael López Serrador, whose coming of age in Barcelona introduces a cast from all walks of city life--Catalan nationalists, anarchists, Falangists, government ministers and showgirls. Just as central a character is Barcelona itself, lovingly depicted. Rafael's adventures bring him into contact with the forces that were to destroy the Republic and determine the bloody course of the Spanish Civil War. Masterfully translated by Gerald Martin, author of Gabriel García Márquez: A Life, Max Aub's novel is set to introduce to an English-speaking audience a classic of Spanish and Latin American literature--an account of the Spanish Civil War to compare with Ernest Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls.

Beware the translator's warning, I suppose: "The book has been a challenge for the translator and will be a challenge to the reader... Readers new to all this will be disorientated at times but I am certain it is one of those occasions when the steepness of the learning curve is more than justified by the results."
If you aren't really interested in the Spanish Civil War, I wouldn't bother trying.
