Abstract
Father Alberto Risco (1873-1937) was a renowned author of Christian texts of popular and edifying nature, the main ones being his well-known novel Emigracion[Emigration] and his Compendio de Historia de la Literatura Espanola [Compendium of the Spanish Literature History] . In his diary he follows with passion and detail the first seven weeks of the Second Spanish Republic. Fr. Risco, more inclined to fundamentalism and traditionalism rather than to the Republic, gives us a vivid, personal and latent view of the situation along the lines of the writings of analysts and journalists of that time. As Jesuit, his biggest concern was the fate of the Church and of the Society of Jesus. Consequently, he stopped writing on the painful 11th May 1931.

Summary
Amén de las citadas anteriormente salieron de su pluma floridas biografías cuyas protagonistas principales fueron damas y señoras de la burguesía católica de su tiempo y de tiempos pasados. Se ha engañado al pueblo de un modo lastimoso; se han repartido entre ellos las casas de Madrid, los autos, las fincas con tal que voten por la República, y esto es lo que llama el Gobierno hacer unas votaciones rabiosamente legales. Nacional donde se pedía el cambio de régimen y como ha triunfado la opinión republicana exige el poder y la abdicación del Rey. Nadie, entre nosotros, cree que Alfonso XIII se decida a dar este paso; sabe muy bien que ese triunfo de ayer es el de una verdadera minoría, que por ser popular y estar pagada con dinero soviético de Rusia, que estos días corrió pródigamente como poco antes para los sucesos de Jaca, ha procurado al elemento republicano un triunfo ficticio, ganado con oro ruso pero no con voluntad nacional..
