Representing the interests of Ramon Tamames, leader of the Spanish Communist Party and Deputy in the Spanish Legislature, I propose that you publish in French two of his writings:
Adonde vas, Espana?[1] More than 80,000 copies have been distributed to date, and a new edition – taking account of the post-electoral situation – will be ready at the end of the summer.
La Republica: la era de Franco.[2] More than 60,000 copies of the Spanish edition have been distributed.
I place myself at your disposal and will send you copies of these works in case their publication interests you.
Sincerely yours,[1] Where is Spain headed?
[2] The Republic: The Franco Era.
Not publishing works by Stalinist authors, we are not interested in the projected publication of the writings of Mr. Ramon Tamames.
Sincerely yours,(Published in Editions Champ Libre, Correspondance, Vol. 1, Editions Champ Libre, Paris, 1978. Translated from the French and footnoted by NOT BORED! June 2012.)
