In this literary biography, Hans Magnus Enzensberger describes the life of Buenaventura Durruti, a metal worker who opposed Franco and was a hero of the Spanish Revolution of 1936. Enzensberger compiles the results of the research conducted for a film project on Durruti to create a collage and to then organize the results in eight glosses, which are interspersed throughout the novel.
