Abstract
The article recovers a forgotten book on the Spanish Civil War written by “Wing” (one of the pseudonyms of Luis Alfredo Sciutto), a Uruguayan sports journalist who, after reporting on the Berlin Olympics, was sent to Spain as war correspondent for the newspaper El Pueblo. Wing was a witness to the battle for Irún from the border at Hendaye, worked as a journalist in nationalist Spain for seven weeks and spent more than a month in republican jails. Una aventura en España narrates these experiences as a process of learning and discovery. As in all the best eye-witness accounts of the civil war, the ideological and spiritual evolution of the author emerges from the confrontation of his ideas and beliefs with his first-hand experience.
