Winter 2020
The British and Americans were behind the majority of the evasion networks which, as well as passing people, could also be charged with carrying documentation addressed to the allied army in the north of Africa or to England and the different governments in exile in London. On many occasions, the expeditions returning from Spain were also used to pass on reports and money from the allied diplomatic representations established in Spain to those organising the resistance.
The majority of the Catalan guides were people who had been born and who had in the Pyrenees, or who had a very good knowledge of their natural environment, paths and people and who were therefore well-suited for carrying out such a risky and physically demanding type of work. Some had already performed similar tasks during the Spanish Civil War and so knew how to do all the different aspects of this activity.
Their reasons for doing this work were many and varied. Firstly, it is important to underline their personal and political commitment. Many earned money from smuggling, which offered considerable financial gains given the period of shortage and the restrictions that reigned in Spain during the early years of Francoism. Finally, it is important to mention a third group of people who carried out certain tasks from time to time and who acted out of humanity and solidarity.
The ordeal that crossing the Pyrenees on foot implied for some poorly prepared or older people meant that it was necessary to include stops where they could rest and recover their strength. For this reason, on the Catalan side of the mountains, the guides used to use a series of trusted farmhouses where it was possible to rest and eat before continuing along the route.

There were also refuges, or safe houses, in some settlements. In parallel, other networks specialised in falsifying documentation and particularly that required to travel around Spain, such as passports and letters of safe conduct. Since the end of the Spanish Civil War, Andorra had become a refuge for hundreds of Spaniards who had fled before the victory of the Francoist army and who had subsequently survived by dedicating their time to smuggling and passing documents and people from France to Spain, and in the opposite direction.
These refugees were then joined by others who had been released from French concentration camps and had sought refuge far from the internment camps of France and the repression in Spain. These circumstances favoured making the Principality of Andorra the epicentre for many stories linked to the conflict and led to it playing a decisive role in the workings of the evasion networks.
Andorra was the part of the Pyrenees in which the evasion networks that accompanied hundreds of escaping Jews worked with the greatest degree of precision. This is one of the best little books on language out there. I laughed out loud. I love the mini-essay intros to examples of the ways in which we manipulate key seemingly throw-away words to evade the truth. Literary brainiac elegance of language with irreverence, including swear words—yum!

I know you had your heart set on it. There are brief notes on each words, but her points are mostly supported by contextual examples which makes them a bit narrow--I think they are true of certain people but not all. Sometimes the examples felt a bit redundant or forced, but overall it's an entertaining book. You would expect this to be a cutesy gimmick book - but you'd be wrong. It's actually a fairly astute piece of pop-psychology and linguistic observation. Basically, they take common euphemisms and language tics and break down the hidden meaning behind them.
