About the Author

Jorge Semprún Maura (1923–2011) was a Spanish writer and politician who lived mostly in France and wrote primarily in French, drawing from his experiences in the French Resistance, deportation to Buchenwald concentration camp, and clandestine work for the Spanish Communist Party under the pseudonym Federico Sánchez. His most notable works include the novels Le grand voyage (1963), which won the Prix Formentor and Prix de la Résistance, Autobiografía de Federico Sánchez (1977, Premio Planeta), and Quel beau dimanche! (1980), as well as Oscar-nominated screenplays for Z (1969) and La Guerre est finie (1966). Read more →
