Aldea 1936

Is it possible to create an enjoyable and mysterious history of literature? Every author—novelist, philosopher, poet, or essayist—has any enigma to offer or reveal, either about their lives or about their works. For instance, do we know exactly where Cervantes was born? Are we sure that Conan Doyle was not a murderer? Why did Comte decide to create his own religion? Did Jose Cadalso exhume his girlfriend's corpse? Was Corneille Moiré's ghostwriter? Was Berbiguier harassed by imps? Maybe Jules Verne did belong to a secret society. Have any works been inspired by dreams—or by insanity?...

La dimensión del viaje y el viajero, incluso en el mundo contemporáneo, es mucho más amplia y diversa. En este libro presentamos algunos viajes y viajeros que inspiran una original reflexión, por parte de los autores, sobre la evolución del concepto de viajar desde los orígenes hasta nuestros días.

Aunque no es una novela, Los años del miedo se lee como tal. El lector acompañará a un Franco que preside en Madrid el desfile de la victoria con una Gran Cruz Laureada de San Fernando prestada, porque olvidó mandar hacerse una, y descubrirá que para aprobar las oposiciones a maestro nacional la respuesta correcta a «¿Quién descubrió América?» o «¿Quién escribió el Quijote?» es la misma: Francisco Franco.
