ABC With Danny and Jim

In this episode we discuss our first ever ABC Edition pamphlet: a translation of Víctor García's ‘José Xena Torrent: A Contribution to a Necessary Biography’.

Danny has taken the lead on this project, and introduces us to García (the pen-name of Germinal Gracia), his relationship with Xena, and the experiences of both through the Spanish Civil War and exile in Venezuela.

The pamphlet is available at cost price of £2.00, plus and postage costs. Email [e-mail] to discuss placing an order.
