VUELVE EL AUTOR DE 14 DE ABRIL Y EL PEÓN (PREMIO CÁLAMO 2020) CON PRESENTES: UN FENÓMENO INTERNACIONAL EN TRADUCCIÓN A SIETE LENGUAS, GANADOR DEL PREMIO OJO CRÍTICO DE NARRATIVA 2024, Y UNO DE LOS 50 MEJORES LIBROS DE 2024 SEGÚN BABELIA.
España, 1939. Once días y sus diez noches. Un viaje al corazón de nuestras tinieblas.
«Un retrato coral, riguroso, hiperliterario y distinto -por momentos aterrador, por momentos emocionante- de una España en harapos: así empezó una dictadura eterna. Un libro excelente». -Javier Cercas
La guerra ha terminado. España está en ruinas. En el cementerio de Alicante exhuman los restos de José Antonio Primo de Rivera. Sus camaradas falangistas van a llevarlo a hombros hasta enterrarlo en El Escorial, morada de reyes, sepulcro imperial. Durante once días y diez noches, el cortejo fantasmagórico avanzará por pueblos y ciudades entre hogueras, escarcha, brazos enhiestos y propaganda: una epopeya fascista de 467 kilómetros para demostrar quién manda en la nueva España.
Sin embargo, la guerra no ha terminado. Una memoria se está construyendo y otra memoria se quiere borrar. En esos días crudos del otoño de 1939, miles de vidas humildes sufren la zarpa de la represión. Presos, fusilados, exiliados, trabajadores forzados, internos en campos de concentración, maestros depurados, vencedores desgraciados para siempre. El régimen trata de esconderlos. Pero ahí están: presentes.
Paco Cerdà, que trazó el rostro humano del 14 de abril, compone una vibrante sinfonía de posguerra. Con un coro de voces olvidadas por la Historia. Con el delirio megalómano de un mito –José Antonio– al servicio de su amo: Franco. Presentes es un viaje al corazón de nuestras tinieblas. El conmovedor relato de quienes soñaron unos ideales jamás enterrados.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
THE AUTHOR OF "14 DE ABRIL" AND "EL PEÓN" (CÁLAMO AWARD 2020) RETURNS WITH "PRESENTES": AN INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON TRANSLATED INTO SEVEN LANGUAGES, WINNER OF THE OJO CRÍTICO DE NARRATIVA AWARD 2024, AND ONE OF THE 50 BEST BOOKS OF 2024 ACCORDING TO BABELIA.
Spain, 1939. Eleven days and their ten nights. A journey to the heart of our darkness. "A choral, rigorous, hyper-literary, and distinct portrait - at times terrifying, at times exciting - of a Spain in tatters: thus began an eternal dictatorship. An excellent book." - Javier Cercas
The war is over. Spain is in ruins. In the cemetery of Alicante, the remains of José Antonio Primo de Rivera are exhumed. His Falangist comrades will carry him on their shoulders to bury him in El Escorial, the abode of kings, the imperial sepulcher. For eleven days and ten nights, the ghostly procession will advance through towns and cities amidst bonfires, frost, raised arms, and propaganda: a fascist epic of 467 kilometers to show who rules the new Spain.
However, the war is not over. A memory is being constructed and another memory is being erased. In those harsh days of autumn 1939, thousands of humble lives suffer the claw of repression. Prisoners, executed, exiled, forced laborers, internees in concentration camps, purged teachers, victors forever disgraced. The regime tries to hide them. But there they are: present.
Paco Cerdà, who traced the human face of April 14, composes a vibrant symphony of the post-war period. With a chorus of voices forgotten by History. With the megalomaniac delusion of a myth - José Antonio - at the service of his master: Franco. "Presentes" is a journey to the heart of our darkness. The moving story of those who dreamed of ideals never buried.
