Constancia de la Mora Maura's autobiography, In Place of Splendour, is an interesting document about the history of a Spanish woman in the first half of the 20th century, specifically about the life of a woman who rebels against the social conventions of her class. The second half of the book contains a detailed account of the Spanish Civil War as seen from a committed perspective, including events in Madrid, Alicante, Valencia and Barcelona, cities where the author lived during the war.

Work Description

La autobiografía de Constancia de la Mora Maura, publicada originalmente bajo el título In Place of Splendor: The Autobiography of a Spanish Woman (1939), constituye un interesante documento sobre la historia de una mujer española en la primera mitad del siglo XX, concretamente sobre la vida de una mujer que se rebela contra las convenciones sociales propias de su clase. La segunda mitad del libro contiene un relato minucioso de la guerra civil española vista desde una perspectiva comprometida, incluyendo sucesos de Madrid, Alicante, Valencia y Barcelona, ciudades donde la autora vivió durante la guerra. Cuando Constancia de la Mora se estableció en México, escribió la versión española del libro, Doble esplendor que fue publicada en dicho país. También se hicieron traducciones al francés, alemán, italiano, checo, rumano y ruso.
