La biografía novelada de Juan Modesto, uno de los jefes de las milicias comunistas, recoge toda la épica y la tragedia de la Guerra Civil española. Una de las mejores historias escritas sobre el conflicto. Por Javier Reverte.
Marzo de 1939. A punto de caer Madrid y tras las derrotas del río Ebro y Cataluña, el ejército republicano se desploma mientras las tropas franquistas avanzan hacia Levante, a la conquista de los últimos bastiones de la Segunda República.
En el pueblo de Petrel (Alicante), el gobierno de Juan Negrín y buena parte de los dirigentes del Partido Comunista preparan su salida de España. Y hasta allí llega el general Juan Modesto para organizar, junto con otros jefes militares republicanos, la evacuación del gobierno. Son los últimos días de la guerra y los recuerdos se agolpan en la mente de Modesto. Por su memoria desfilan los días de su infancia, las alegres jornadas del Madrid que resistía el avance del fascismo, sus amores, los combates del Quinto Regimiento y de las Brigadas Internacionales, todas las batallas que le convertirían en una leyenda: el Jarama, Brunete, Belchite, Teruel, el Ebro, Cataluña...
El Juan Modesto de la realidad histórica se convierte, en esta novela, en un personaje que alcanza la dimensión de los guerreros de antaño, de los héroes clásicos.
Autor de una extensa obra, Javier Reverte (Madrid, 1944-2020) cultivó la poesía, la biografía, la novela y, en especial, la literatura de viajes, de la que sin duda fue el autor más destacado de las letras españolas. Entre sus obras de este último género, resaltan las que tratan de sus periplos africanos, que comenzaron con El sueño de África (1996), un texto que no ha cesado de reeditarse desde entonces y que ha vendido más de un cuarto de millón de ejemplares. Otras narraciones viajeras incluyen sus navegaciones por tierras y mares polares, por ríos como el Amazonas y el Yukón, y por países como Irlanda, China, Argelia y Grecia, así como sus diarios de sus largas estancias en Roma y Nueva York. En su narrativa destaca la Trilogía Trágica de España (Banderas en la niebla, El tiempo de los héroes y Venga a nosotros tu reino), obras centradas en la Guerra Civil y en los primeros años del franquismo.
Plaza & Janés ha publicado póstumamente la novela Hombre al agua; sus memorias, Queridos camaradas, y su último libro de viajes, La frontera invisible.
