Description
The most lucid and brilliant texts by a writer of international stature, finally brought together in a volume of compulsive reading.This volume brings together an exciting selection of the best texts published in the last two decades by Javier Cercas, currently one of the most important European writers. They address some of the most important issues of our time, such as the rise of national populism, the crisis of liberal democracy or the discrediting of truth, as well as its reverberations in Spain, from Catalan secessionism or the so-called new politics to the rereading or falsification of the Civil War, Francoism and the Transition. But here you will also find lucid and passionate vindications of the power of literature (or art in general), unforgettable portraits of writers, historical figures, filmmakers, musicians or athletes, exciting fragments of personal and collective memory pregnant in equal parts with melancholy and a hilarious humour. The result is an absorbing book, essential for understanding the 21st century, but above all for understanding ourselves.
