Eighty years after the journalist's death, coinciding with his passing into the public domain, different publishers are launching the publication of his works.
Of his work we only know the tip of the iceberg, says one publisher.
As a good journalist, Manuel Chaves Nogales went through homes, embassies, prisons, churches, stables, police stations, ministries, morgues and cultural associations. What he liked most was walking around. That is why, 80 years after his death, his writing is so much like a description he himself made of an old and populous Sevillian street: without symptoms of aging, fully current, restless and vibrant, renewing itself in the eyes of each new generation. Already a regular classic in bookstores, in 2025 his work entered the public domain and an avalanche of publications under his name is foreseen, among reeditions, compilations and recovery of unpublished works.
