In addition to being a politician, Azaña was an important intellectual, a member of the Generation of 14, which cultivated almost all literary genres.

After the proclamation of the Second Republic, Azaña is catapulted into public life as Minister of War and head of the governments of the first republican biennium.

After the victory of the right in the General Elections of 1933, Azaña passes to the opposition. In these years there are two important events: the proclamation of the Catalan Republic and the Asturias Revolution.

Following the dismissal of Nieto Alcalá-Zamora, Manuel Azaña was elected President of the Republic on May 10, 1936. He held this position throughout the Civil War.

In January 1936, when the defeat of the republican forces seems inevitable, Azaña moves to France. There he suffers the persecution of the police of Franco, Vichy and the Gestapo, until he died in the town of Montauban on November 3, 1940.
