Nicely-preserved selection of issues of this Republican daily newspaper, the official organ of the Partido Sindicalista, one of the smaller Spanish left-wing workers' parties that would eventually become affiliated with the United Front. The paper was founded in 1896 by the popular Spanish novelist and journalist Vicente Blasco Ibañez. During the Second Republic, under the management of Ibañez's nephew Sigfrido, the paper became more politically aligned, eventually becoming the organ of the Syndicalists in 1932; it ceased publication with the end of the Republic in 1939. Rare; OCLC finds 2 locations holding any issues (Biblioteca Universitat de Barcelona, Universidad de Valencia), none in the U.S.
