Spanishcivilwar Stories

A story of a girl trapped in Madrid during the Spanish Civil War. (This is an EXCERPT from towards the end of the novel. God knows when I'll finish it.)

Story inspired on the painting 'Nighthawks' by Edward Hopper. Writed on the spring of 2019 in Paris.

When Sarah, a young sculptress, is left an unusual request from her long estranged Spanish grandfather in his will, she is baffled but intrigued. As she sets about fulfilling her grandfathers strange request she meets the enigmatic and secretive Joe Gray and as a chain of bizarre and unsettling events unfold it soon becomes apparent that her life will never be the same again.

Two very different paintings with two very different histories. When their paths cross for the first time a tragedy happens. When their paths cross for the second time will the outcome be even more tragic. Spain 1936 and the battle for Madrid is about to begin. A small but dedicated team of students, artists and intellectuals have volunteered to help safeguard the cities national treasures. The plan to evacuate the artworks of El Prado and its neighbouring museums to the relative safety of Valencia is escalated as Franco's troops near the city from the west. When his twin sister, Anna, disappears on one of the first trip to Valencia and Lucas, one of the drivers is murdered, Paco, an art student at Madrid University starts to investigate. Madrid 2018 and the donation of a rare Klimt portrait to the Prado Museum by one of its cities most famous reclusive families triggers of a series of events.

Der Adler, der Wolf, und die Sonne: Die Geschichte des Stahlpakts (The Eagle, the Wolf, and the Sun: The History of the Pact of Steel) Book 1: "Peace" Covering the years from 1936 through 1941, Book One of "The Eagle, the Wolf and the Sun: The History of the Pact of Steel" discusses the rise of the German and Italian war machines, the Reich's and Italy's territorial gains made through diplomatic means, as well as the wars in Spain, Greece and China. Overall Description: For the first time, a thorough research project with the support of the National Archives of Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan and the United States have flung open their doors to the premier students of the world's most serious conflict and allowed them to assemble in a cognitive work that ranks amongst the greatest historical works of the most famous students of History of all time--Herodotus, Thucydides, Livy, Caesar, Mahan, Massie, and others.

This is going to be a mixed "Gameplay/Roleplay" Historical AAR. I, as the player, will not be doing (much) gamey stuff; I find it rather repugnant to min/max divisions or anything like that, but I do recognize the limits of the game. Basic Game Info: HoI3:TFH 4.02 Normal/Normal, playing as Germany, Italy and (though not until 1941) Japan. By 1943, upped to Hard difficulty.

Atrocities against unarmed civilians during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939)

Can a patient’s silence kill the doctor? A respected physician in Cordoba, Spain, receives a mysterious phone call—a request to attend to the ailing daughter of a wealthy but secretive family in Madrid. What seems to be a routine house call quickly turns into a disturbing labyrinth of intrigue and mystery, and a fight for the girl’s life. The outcome of that battle will impact the doctor—and the journalist interviewing him—in ways neither imagined.Set against the unstable political climate of General Franco’s Spain in the 1940’s and based on a bizarre real-life incident that remains unsolved to this day, “Verse in Arabic” twists medical ethics and psychosocial tyranny into a cord that pulls at your heart from both ends.

Short story adaptation of a chapter from the novel, The Assassin's Mark September 1938. Spain's Civil War has been raging for two years, the outcome still in the balance. But rebel General Francisco Franco is so confident of winning that he has opened up battlefield tourism along the country's north coast. Jack Telford, a left-wing reporter, finds himself with an eccentric group of tourists on one of the War Route's yellow Chrysler buses. Driven by his passion for peace, Telford attempts to uncover the hidden truths beneath the conflict. But Jack must contend first with his own gullibility, the tragic death of a fellow-passenger, capture by Republican guerrilleros, a final showdown at Spain's most holy shrine and the possibility that he has been badly betrayed. Betrayed and in serious danger.
