UNA NOVELA TOTAL SOBRE LA GUERRA CIVIL ESPAÑOLA EN CLAVE DE REALISMO MÁGICO

He aquí la historia de la descomposición total de una familia, de la deshumanización de un pueblo, de la desintegración de un territorio y de una península de casas vacías.

La historia de un soldado que se raja la piel para dejar salir la ceniza acumulada, de un poeta que cose la sombra de una niña tras un bombardeo, y de un maestro que enseña a sus alumnos a hacerse los muertos; de un general que duerme junto a la mano cortada de una santa, de un niño ciego que recupera la vista durante un apagón, y de una campesina que pinta de negro todos los árboles de su huerto; de un fotógrafo extranjero que pisa una mina cerca de Brunete y no levanta el pie en cuarenta años, de un gernikarra que conduce hasta el centro de París una camioneta con los restos humeantes de un ataque aéreo, y de un perro herido cuya sangre teñirá la última franja de una bandera abandonada en Badajoz.

He aquí pues la historia total de la Guerra Civil española y de una Iberia agonizante donde lo fantástico apuntala la crudeza de lo real; donde los anónimos miembros de un extenso clan de olivareros de Jándula cruzan sus destinos con los de Alberti, Lorca y Unamuno; Rodoreda, Zambrano y Kent; Hemingway, Orwell y Bernanos; Picasso y Mallo; Azaña y Foxá; donde lo épico y lo costumbrista se entrelazan para tejer un portentoso tapiz, poético y grotesco, bello y delirante.

«Con una prosa imprevista, tan original como desacomplejada, David Uclés es un auténtico soplo de aire fresco en las letras españolas . - Pablo Martín Sánchez

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A NOVEL ABOUT THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR WRITTEN IN THE KEY OF MAGICAL REALISM

This is the story of the total breakdown of a family, the dehumanization of a people, the disintegration of a territory, and a peninsula of empty houses.

The story of a soldier who cuts his skin to let out the accumulated ash, of a poet who sews the shadow of a girl after a bombing, and of a teacher who teaches his students to play dead; of a general who sleeps next to the severed hand of a saint, of a blind boy who regains his sight during a blackout, and of a peasant woman who paints all the trees in her orchard black; of a foreign photographer who steps on a mine near Brunete and does not lift his foot for forty years, of a man from Gernika who drives a truck with the smoldering remains of an air raid to the center of Paris, and of a wounded dog whose blood will stain the last strip of a flag abandoned in Badajoz.

Here, then, is the complete history of the Spanish Civil War and of a dying Iberia where the fantastic underpins the harshness of reality; where the anonymous members of a large clan of olive growers from Jándula cross paths with Alberti, Lorca, and Unamuno; Rodoreda, Zambrano, and Kent; Hemingway, Orwell, and Bernanos; Picasso and Mallo; Azaña and Foxá; where the epic and the traditional intertwine to weave a portentous tapestry, poetic and grotesque, beautiful and delirious.

"With his unexpected prose, as original as it is uninhibited, David Uclés is a real breath of fresh air in Spanish literature." - Pablo Martín Sánchez
