The figure and biographical adventure of Joan Comorera embodies many of the greatness and misery of the first half of the 20th century: the brave and loyal political commitment, but also the obfuscated fanaticism of someone who conceives politics as a totalizing and dogmatic form of religion. Starting from Comorera, founder of the PSUC, a Catalan socialist and nationalist, a supporter of a Catalan communism not subaltern to the Spanish one and which would appeal to the proletariat and also to the incipient middle classes of the country, the history is better understood – the ideals and the hope and the heroic resistances, the betrayals and the betrayals and the sinister and incipient betrayals of the 20th century, so rich in monsters.

Joan Comorera, born in Cervera in 1894, died ill in the Burgos prison on May 6, 1958. He had been the right-hand man of President Lluís Companys, and one of the founders of the PSUC and its first secretary until he was expelled from the party. Persecuted by the Francoists and the communists, he was finally imprisoned in June 1954. Until now it was not very clear who betrayed him. The journalist Antoni Batista (Barcelona, ​​​​1952), ombudsman of the ARA, has had access to the manuscripts of the commissioner who arrested him: Antonio Juan Creix. Everything was in order and there was first-hand police material, including the exhaustive statement in which Comorera reviews his life. Batista, as he has done in other books, carries out an exhaustive investigation to give clues about what Comorera's last years were like and his relationship with Creix. The truth of the Comorera case. A story of espionage, harassment and betrayal (Now Books).
