Reviews
Reseñas: «Arturo Pérez-Reverte sabe cómo retener al lector a cada vuelta de página.».-The New York Times Book Review «Arturo Pérez-Reverte consigue mantener sin aliento al lector.».-Corriere della Sera «No solo es un espléndido narrador. También maneja con pericia diferentes géneros.».-El Mundo «Hay un escritor español que se parece al mejor Spielberg más Umberto Eco. Se llama Arturo-Pérez-Reverte.».-La Repubblica «Su sabiduría narrativa, tan bien construida siempre, tan exhaustivamente detallada, documentada y estructurada, hasta el punto de que, frente a todo ello, la historia real resulta más endeble y a veces hasta tópica.».-Rafael Conte «Su estilo elegante se combina con un gran manejo de la lengua española. Pérez-Reverte es un maestro.».-La Stampa «Pérez-Reverte tiene un talento endiablado y un sólido oficio.».-Avant-Critique «Un repaso equidistante por los tres años de contienda [...] donde defiende la importancia de la memoria y la necesidad de no olvidar lo que fueron aquellos tres años de barbarie.».-Antonio Lucas, El Mundo (sobre La guerra civil contada a los jóvenes) «La capacidad de síntesis y la ecuanimidad crítica del autor abonan un trabajo de lectura obligatoria.».- Sergio Vila-SanJuán, La Vanguardia (sobre La guerra civil contada a los jóvenes)
Synopsis
Por primera vez un volumen re ne la historia de Espa a escrita por Arturo P rez-Reverte durante m s de cuatro a os en su columna &la"Patente de corso del XL Semanal. Un relato ameno, personal, a ratos ir nico, pero siempre nico, de nuestra accidentada historia a trav s de los siglos. Una obra concebida por el autor para, en palabras suyas, &la"divertirme, releer y disfrutar; un pretexto para mirar atr s desde los tiempos remotos hasta el presente, reflexionar un poco sobre ello y contarlo por escrito de una manera poco ortodoxa. A lo largo de los 91 cap tulos m s el ep logo de los que consta el libro, Arturo P rez-Reverte narra los principales acontecimientos ocurridos desde los or genes de nuestra historia y hasta el final de la Transici n con una mirada subjetiva, construida con las dosis exactas de lecturas, experiencia y sentido com n. &la"La misma mirada con que escribo novelas y art culos -dice el autor-; no la eleg yo, sino que es resultado de todas esas cosas: la visi n, cida m s a menudo que dulce, de quien, como dice un personaje de una de mis novelas, sabe que ser l cido en Espa a aparej siempre mucha amargura, mucha soledad y mucha desesperanza. .- Arturo P rez-Reverte ENGLISH DESCRIPTION For the first time, one volume gathers the history of Spain as written by Arturo P rez-Reverte over the course of more than four years in his "Patente de corso" (" Carte Blanche" ) column for XL Semanal . An entertaining, personal, and sometimes ironic but always unique tale of Spain's turbulent history throughout the centuries. A work conceptualized by the author to, in his words, "entertain me, re-read and enjoy; a pretext for looking back through time from the very beginning until the present, reflecting a little about it, and telling it in writing in an unorthodox way." Throughout the 91 chapters plus the epilogue of the book, Arturo P rez-Reverte narrates the main events from Spain's origin and up through the end of the Transition with a subjective view, made up of precise measures of reading, experience, and common sense. "The same view with which I write novels and articles," says the author, "... I didn't choose it myself; it's the result of all those things: as one of my novel's characters says it, it's the vision, harsh yet frequently sweet, of someone who knows that being lucid in Spain has always entailed bitterness, loneliness, and despair." -Arturo P rez-Reverte, Por primera vez un volumen reúne la historia de España escrita por Arturo Pérez-Reverte durante más de cuatro años en su columna «Patente de corso» del XL Semanal.
