Add to basketIdioma/Language: Español. (IMPRESIÓN BAJO DEMANDA DE 1 EJEMPLAR) Con prólogo de Jorge Luis Borges. Cansinos quiso que su primer libro fuera hondamente judaico. No en vano llevaba, desde que llegó a Madrid en 1898, buscando sus raíces judías, investigando en la Biblioteca Nacional su pasado familiar y tratando de conseguir toda la información que podía sobre sus antepasados paternos, incluso manteniendo relación epistolar con rabinos de comunidades sefarditas europeas. En 1904 contactó con el senador Ángel Pulido para ayudarle en su campaña filosefardí y en su despacho conoce a José Farache, con el que mantendrá una intensa amistad y que le introduce en la incipiente comunidad judía madrileña. Pronto participara él mismo en la campaña y promoverá, a pesar de su juventud, iniciativas como Alianza Hispano Israelita (1909), en la que implica a Carmen Burgos (Colombine) y su "Revista Crítica", al tiempo que colabora con periódicos sefarditas, escritos en judeo español con caracteres hebreos. Cansinos Assens terminará siendo una de las figuras más relevantes del judaísmo español del primer tercio del siglo XX. Cuando ya el modernismo se había institucionalizado y la literatura y el arte caminan hacia las vanguardias, aunque predomina la «amena literatura», con "El candelabro de los siete brazos" Cansinos Assens se desmarca de su tiempo, como hizo siempre, y lanza a las mesas de los poetas en el café Colonial una colección de psalmos, de ritmo bíblico, en la que se desgrana su yo más íntimo y en la que se adivinan las profundas raíces judías de sus sentimientos. La tristeza, la pena errante, la rebeldía, el pesimismo son temas recurrentes de su prosa poética, que es también un canto a la vida. Vicente Huidobro, en Chile, publicará un libro de corte muy similar, Las pagodas ocultas, y pronto los dos se reunirán en Madrid para promover las vanguardias. El estilo de la obra, observa Jorge Luis Borges en el prólogo de esta edición, es el de los Salmos, acentuado y modificado: «Cada una de las partes que lo integran tiene como nombre una letra del alefato hebreo. Las escenas transcurren en Madrid, pero el ambiente es oriental. Los lupanares son harenes; las mujeres que bailan son bayaderas; el Café Colonial es el café de los divanes rojos; las tertulias del Colonial son congregaciones sabáticas. En ese primer libro ya están, para quien sepa leer entre líneas (quizá el único modo de leer, dada la imperfección del lenguaje) la entonación, las cadencias, las preferencias, las vastas y vagas metáforas, el culto romántico del fracaso y hasta la biografía venidera de quien sería mi maestro. » *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
