Este nuevo ensayo de Orixe aporta algunas precisiones sobre su biografía pero, sobre todo, constituye un texto único en su bibliografía —próximo, sin embargo, a algunos pasajes de Quiton arrebare- kin— en la medida en que recoge una reflexión extensa y sistemática sobre una cuestión entonces crucial para el nacionalismo vasco. Abstract Study and edition of an unknown text of Orixe where, starting from an autobiographi- cal episode —he was denounced in May 1938 and consequently had to escape to the other side of the border—, he tries to show the falseness of the catholicism of the rebels of 1936 and the moral superiority of the Basque nationalists.
