The narrative delves into the life of Enric Marco, who was celebrated as a hero of the Spanish Civil War and a Holocaust survivor until his deception was revealed in 2005. Through a blend of fiction and nonfiction, Javier Cercas investigates Marco's complex identity, exploring themes of truth, memory, and the human capacity for self-deception. With a mix of compassion and honesty, Cercas examines the implications of Marco's lies, offering a profound commentary on the nature of heroism and the flaws inherent in humanity.
