Until 1923, when Primo de Rivera's dictatorship began, Ruíz Rodríguez went by Max Bembo. Under this pen name, he authored \u003ci\u003eLa mala vida en Barcelona: Anormalidad, miseria y vicio\u003c\/i\u003e. In the early 1930s, after the proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic, he reappeared as José Antonio Emmanuel. As Emmanuel, he collaborated with the International Committee of Schools in promoting nontraditional schools. He also founded the IAL Press, whose International Library Collection published affordable, brief works that explained concepts such as the proletariat's organization, union action, and anarchy. During the Spanish Civil War, Ruíz Rodríguez vanished without a trace, and it is not known what happened to him.
