Description:In 1934 Sir Peter Chalmers Mitchell retired at the age of 70 from a distinguished career as Secretary of the Zoological Society of London. During his tenure he had been the driving force behind the creation of the Whipsnade Zoo, which opened in 1931. He moved to Málaga “for what I expected to be a peaceful old age” and spent his time writing his memoirs and translating novels by Ramón J. Sender. Then came the rebellion of 1936. While most other British residents fled to Gibraltar, Sir Peter was one of the few to stay in order to protect his house and garden, and his servants. Although an open sympathiser with the Anarchist cause, he provided a safe haven to the wife and five daughters of Tomás Bolín, members of a notorious right wing family, eventually helping them escape across the border. He later offered shelter to Arthur Koestler. When the Italian forces sent by Mussolini to support the rebellion took Málaga, they were both arrested by Tomás Bolín’s nephew, Luis, who was Franco’s chief propagandist and who had vowed that if he ever laid his hands on Koestler he would “shoot him like a dog”. This is his memoir of that period, first published in 1938.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
