Moments (1948-1988)

ABSTRACT

The work Moments (1948-1988) is not a novel, but a historical document. It is a translation of the book Mi memoria histórica (1948-1988), published in 2010 in Spanish: www.bubok.es. Its author, PEDRO MENDOZA GONZALO, expresses a synthesis of his first 40 years of life. But what he is really trying to do is to participate in the interpretation of collective history. There are contents of high value in diverse fields: Sociology, Politics, Pedagogy, History, Psychology, Philosophy, Theology or Third World. At the age of 17, in 1966, he began some notebooks entitled Vivencias y Pensamientos (Experiences and Thoughts), wich are the documentary base. Each entrance is dated and related to the world context, symbolized by real news until 1988. Pedro Mendoza was a Catholic priest for 13 years, and 13 others for training as a seminarian. He was secularized in 1985. The moments-limits of his public and intimate life appear here red hot.
