Throughout the work of an entire lifetime, however, which is of real value only when it is one long autobiography, deceit is impossible, because when the writer is least conscious of it, he reveals himself. The Bad Man of Itzea
Whether from one source or another, the important consideration to me was that there was a bad man in Itzea, and that that bad man was I. To study and make clear the instincts, pride, and vanities of the bad man of Itzea is the purpose of this book.
Run the red flag of revolution to the masthead of our frail craft, and forth to sea!" Itzea, September, 1917.
The wise owl that perches at night on our roof at Itzea calls to me: "Baroja, you will never amount to anything," and even the crows, winging their way across the sky, incessantly shout at me from above: "Baroja, you will never amount to anything." And I am convinced that I never shall amount to anything. I may not appear to be a very great patriot, but, nevertheless, I am.
My family and I must have seemed somewhat peculiar to these children, for one day, when one little fellow caught sight of me, he took refuge in the portal of his house and cried out: "Here comes the bad man of Itzea!" And the bad man of Itzea was I.
