¿Es el Guernica que conocemos el verdadero cuadro que pintó Picasso?

¿Qué hacía Falcó en París en la primavera de 1937?

ARTURO PÉREZ-REVERTE Y LORENZO FALCÓ VUELVEN CON UNA HISTORIA DE SABOTAJE. 

«La luz declinante de la ventana y su efecto óptico en el cristal daban una tenue pátina rojiza al enorme lienzo; como si éste, antes de ser realidad, ya empezase a ensangrentarse lentamente. Y de pronto, todo adquirió sentido.

-Se llamará Guernica -dijo Picasso.»

Mayo de 1937. La Guerra Civil sigue su sangriento curso en España, pero también lejos de los campos de batalla se combate entre las sombras. Una doble misión lleva a Lorenzo Falcó hasta París con el objetivo de intentar, de cualquier forma posible, que el Guernica que está pintando Pablo Picasso no llegue nunca a la Exposición Universal donde la República pretende conseguir apoyo internacional. Aunque ya se adivinan en Europa los vientos de la nueva guerra que asolará el continente, la música alegre sigue sonando, y el arte, los negocios, la vida frívola ocupan todavía a intelectuales, refugiados y activistas. Acostumbrado al peligro y a las situaciones límite, Falcó debe enfrentarse esta vez a un mundo en el que la lucha de ideas pretende imponerse sobre la acción. Un mundo que a él le es ajeno, y al que aplicará sus propios métodos.

Arturo Pérez-Reverte construye en Sabotaje una trama magistral que envuelve al lector hasta la última página, y completa con esta novela la trilogía protagonizada por Falcó, el personaje literario más fascinante de los últimos tiempos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

 

Is the Guernica we know the one that Picasso really painted?
What was Falcó doing in Paris in the spring of 1937?

 

Arturo Pérez-Reverte and Lorenzo Falcó are back with a story of sabotage.

 

"The dwindling light from the window and its optical effects on the glass gave a soft reddish tint to the enormous canvas; as if it, before becoming reality, was already beginning to slowly bleed. And suddenly, it all made sense.

 

'It will be called Guernica, ' said Picasso."

 

May, 1937. A civil war continues its bloody path in Spain, but fighting continues even in the shadows, far from the battlefields. A double mission brings Lorenzo Falcó to Paris with the objective of preventing the Guernica that Picasso is painting from arriving at the international exhibition where the Republic will try to gain international support. Although Europe is already feeling the winds of the new war that will devastate the continent, happy music continues to play, and art, business, and frivolity are still on the minds of intellectuals, refugees, and activists. Accustomed to danger and crisis situations, Falcó must this time face a world in which a battle of ideas takes precedence over action. A world that is foreign to him, and to which he must apply his own methods...

 

In Sabotage, Arturo Pérez-Reverte constructs a masterpiece that engrosses the reader until the last page and completes the trilogy starring Falcó, the most fascinating literary character of our time.

Corrected and cleaned up, Stevens shines
Format: Paperback
The corrections to the text of the 1954 Collected Poems are worth paying for, but the attractive, highly readable typeface and layout make this collection pleasantly readable as well as compelling. Stevens is one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century, and in his corporate pin-stripe portliness he is also an inspiration to all of us basically nerdy, tweedy, non-Beat types who hope we possess a tiny spark of poetic genius. Romantic and post-romantic poetry is an argument between imagination and reality, and no one clarifies the terms of that argument better than Stevens.

Linus's blue blanket
Format: Hardcover
Even though I'm reading the hardcover, I wrap the wonderful, wise words of W.S. Merwin around me. His poems infuse my life with an even keener sense of appreciating the "now." His words keep me in constant contact with my sense of responsibility for our planet. He's an inspiration for taking action to preserve, conserve, and plant trees, as well as recognizing the magnitude of the impact that each being carries. The geese, all animals, relationships, taking better care of the earth and each other, as well as experiencing the sorrows and the joys in life. He is dedicated to the craft of poetry and its vital role of importance in our lives. I wish I could thank him in person, but since that's not realistic, I will continue to do my best to honor him in my own way, by taking time to observe, experience, appreciate, write, take action, and reflect upon the beauty in the world and making the most of each moment. Carpe Diem!

What Merwin Thought Represented Him Best
Format: Paperback
If one volume could sum up adequately W.S. Merwin's artistic development and illustrate his place in American literature with some justice, "Migration" does the job. At least as importantly, it gives us the poet's own opinion on the poems for which he might want to be remembered, much as Nathaniel Tarn inspired Pablo Neruda to do in the selection of Neruda's poems that Tarn oversaw. I bought "Migration" at roughly the same time as and and cross-referenced his selection from those titles in "Migration" against the whole. While I still have one or two favorites that did not make the cut, I found the choices he made consistently better-inspired and more timeless than the poems that surrounded them (though overall Merwin has remained a consistent and astonishingly fine craftsman throughout his career). For those who want to go further back than Merwin's more recent books for Copper Canyon Press should not be disappointed.
