La voz de España contra todos sus enemigos

ES·~2 hours

Chapters

Description

A fervent appeal from the turn of the twentieth‑century, this work opens with a stark portrait of a Spain weighed down by mismanagement, military setbacks, and political complacency. The author lays out a catalogue of grievances—failed naval campaigns, squandered colonial wealth, and a leadership that appears more interested in silence than accountability—while urging readers to confront the nation’s recent humiliations.

Beyond the indictment, the text becomes a passionate defense of the Spanish Army and Navy, recalling heroic figures from past victories and insisting that their honor has been unfairly tarnished. It argues that true regeneration must arise from disciplined, patriotic service rather than partisan politics, proposing a vision of renewal rooted in moral, historical, and legal understanding. Listeners will hear a snapshot of a pivotal moment when a devoted citizen sought to awaken a sense of collective responsibility and pride in Spain’s martial legacy.

About the author

JM

José María Avilés

A little-known Spanish writer from the turn of the 20th century, he is remembered today for a fiercely patriotic work published after the Spanish-American War. His surviving public record is slim, which gives his lone widely accessible book an unusual historical curiosity.
