Unamuno died broken-hearted on the last day of 1936. The tragedy of his last months was a natural expression of a society in which, by a law of September, all books of ‘Socialist or Communist tendencies had been ordered to be destroyed as a matter of public health’. In December all such books (or any ‘generally disruptive’ matter) were ordered to be handed in within forty-eight hours.
