Death in Paris
At the beginning of 1938, he worked as a language and literature professor in Paris, but in March, he suffered from physical exhaustion. On March 24 he was hospitalized for an unknown disease (it was later understood that it was the reactivation of a malaria disease he had suffered as a child) and on April 7th and 8th, he went into critical condition. He died a week later, on the 15th, a holy, rainy Friday in Paris, but not on a Thursday, as he supposedly predicted in his poem «"Black Stone on a White Stone"». He was embalmed. His funeral eulogy was written by the French writer, Louis Aragon. On the 19th, his remains were transferred to the Mansion of Culture and later to the Montrouge cemetery. After thirty-two years of rest in the Montrouge cemetery, on April 3, 1970, his widowed wife, Georgette Vallejo, moved his remains to the Montparnasse cemetery, writing in his epitaph: “I’ve snowed so much for you to sleep.”
Essay
Vallejo published a chronicles book entitled “Russia in 1931. Reflections at the foot of the Kremlin” (Madrid, 1931) and prepared another similar book for the presses titled “Russia before the second five-year plan” (finished in 1932 but was later published in 1965).
Also, he organized two prose books about essay and reflection: “Against Professional Secrecy” (written, according to Georgette, between 1923 and 1929), and “Art and Revolution” (written between 1929 and 1931), which bring together diverse articles, some which were published in magazines and newspapers during the lifetime of the author. No Spanish editorial wanted to publish these books because of its Marxist and revolutionary character. They would later be published in 1973.
