"This book is neither strictly speaking a biography of Ramón Fernandez, my father (1894-1944), nor an essay on his work, but a kind of inquiry into his destiny, which remains partly enigmatic. I seek to explain to myself, by putting myself on stage, how this man, one of the most brilliant intellectuals of his time, could have been a socialist at 31 (1925), a literary critic for a left-wing newspaper at 38 (1932), a communist at 40 (1934), a fascist at 43 (1937), and finally a collaborator at 46 (1940)."
