Carlos Saura (Huesca, 1932) is one of the key photographers who portrayed a time in Spanish history which now seems almost forgotten. Saura takes us to places that we barely recognise nowadays: a miserable Spain, with its villages of unpaved streets, adobe houses, peasants fighting the cold with blankets, men whose only means of transport are donkey carriages, women in black… A Spain that reflects the traditions and habits of its people. This new book belongs to the PHotoBolsillo series, which publishes monographs on the most important Spanish, Latin American and African photographers in a didactic and affordable format.
