Vivimos un tiempo de titulares y eslóganes en los que la Historia se ha visto desplazada por el relato interesado y confeccionado a medida. Por este motivo resulta difícil encontrar empresa más quijotesca que la de escribir una biografía íntima de Miguel de Cervantes. Si, además se hace recurriendo a las fuentes históricas y bibliográficas de la época y dedica sus páginas a despojar al genio de las letras de todos los lugares comunes que durante siglos han vestido su insigne figura de los más variados ropajes, entonces la osadía se multiplica por diez.
José Manuel Lucía Megías, Catedrático de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid y uno de los cervantistas más respetados de la actualidad, nos embarca en un apasionante y entretenido viaje dirigido a desnudar al mito de todos los corsés impuestos en torno a su vida: desde la tentación de leer sus obras en clave biográfica hasta la construcción de imágenes heroicas basadas en su papel en la batalla de Lepanto o de su cautiverio en Argel, pasando por las múltiples especulaciones acerca de su vida sentimental y sexual. Esta travesía nos aleja de la tierra pantanosa de los estereotipos consagrados por siglos de crítica y navega hacia un mar abierto, libre de prejuicios, para desterrar de una vez esos retratos incompletos y ayudarnos a descubrir al hombre que fue Miguel de Cervantes.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
We live in a day of headlines and catchphrases that eschew History in favor of personalized and subjective narratives. At such a time, few projects may seem more quixotic than writing the intimate biography of Miguel de Cervantes. Add to that research that relies on contemporary historical sources and bibliographies to dispel myths that have flourished for centuries, and the task becomes even more formidable.
José Manuel Lucía Megías takes readers on a fascinating and entertaining journey that debunks the multitude of legends about Spain's iconic literary genius. These include the temptation to draw parallels between his work and personal life, exaggerate his heroism in the Battle of Lepanto and imprisonment in Algiers, and speculations about his love life. Liberated from stereotypes and hagiography, we are free to draw a complete and unbiased portrait of the real Miguel de Cervantes.
