La història d'Enrique Blat (1879-1951) és la biografia singular d'un home corrent i un fidel reflex, alhora, dels temors, les esperances i les frustracions de bona part dels seus contemporanis. Moliner per tradició familiar, s'inicià en l'aventura empresarial amb una fàbrica de conserves vegetals que, fins que va fer fallida el 1929, arribà a tenir una significativa activitat exportadora a Europa i a Amèrica. D'existència més efímera fou la destil.leria de licors que muntà a Caracas amb el seu germà. L'empresari tornà malalt a Llíria dos anys més tard. Republicà des de la seua infantesa, treballà d'escrivent municipal i participà activament en la vida política local. La desteta de 1939 l'afectà tràgicament i la repressió franquista el deixà sense feina i s'acarnissà amb la seua família. Sobreviuria encara al trist ambient de la postguerra enginyant-se-les per guanyar-se la vida. La vida d'Enrique Blat és, per tant, excepcional i normal alhora, una aventura que ens situa en el temps que li tocà de viure.
