He fought on the side of the Republican during the Spanish Civil War (1936 - 1939), and was a critic of the repressive policies of Franco's regime (1939 - 1975), which included censorship of the Catalan language. Within the field of science fiction, Pedrolo's greatest contribution was without a doubt Typescript of the Second Origin.
