Life and Death of a Spanish Town is a book by Elliot Paul about the island of Ibiza before and up to the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. The town of the book's title is Santa Eularia des Riu.[1]
The book was praised by Richard Rees, editor of The Adelphi magazine, who called it, along with George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia and Georges Bernanos's Les grands cimetières sous la lune, one of "the only books about Spain that can be said to be written by people with free (i.e. fundamentally honest, if often mistaken ) minds".[2]
In Ibiza, Franco's rising triumphed, as it did in Majorca.
