Hijo de una familia de la alta burguesía, el estallido de la guerra civil le condujo al exilio en Francia.

Quotes by Jorge Semprún (?)

“Il y a cet entassement des corps dans le wagon cette lancinante douleur dans le genou droit. Les jours les nuits. Je fais un effort et j'essaye de compter les jours de compter les nuits.

― Jorge Semprún, The Long Voyage
