Some "Letters from France" written by Josep Pla for the Magazine Destino. An Approach to the French Fourth Republic at the Beginning of the Algerian War

Abstract

This article means a first approach to the information given to its readers by the magazine Destino about the France of the IV French Republic, exactly during Pierre Mendès-France´s term in 1954, and having its origin in four articles published by the journalist and writer Josep Pla just when the Algeria conflict started. That information was determined by the obsessive anti-communist editorial policy of the aforementioned charismatic publication of the francoist Spain.
