I haven't read through all of this but it's good. He attended a Modernist school, joined the CNT in 1911 and became war correspondent for Solidaridad Obrera. Lots of fun stories.

this is kinda a dumb question, i know, but precisely how does one pronounce his name? i mean, i know the J should be pronounced like a H, but that sounds weird, making his name sound like "Hown" or perhaps just "Own." in the past, when i first saw it reading some book or another, i thought it was a misspelling of "Juan."

Darned if I know. I've never heard Catalan spoken.

something like ho-an, at least that's how my Catalan friend pronounced it.

I think the "J" sound's the same as English, but then Catalan's shit anyway. Yeah I said it.
