  • Overview

    UNA BIOGRAFÍA DE GUERRA.

    Un libro imprescindible para comprender la mirada literaria de Arturo Pérez-Reverte.

    «Caminé por un mundo en guerra intentando comprender. No me lo contaron. Estuve allí, y esto es lo que vi.»

    Durante veintiún años como reportero de guerra, Arturo Pérez-Reverte vivió en primera línea los conflictos más cruentos del último tercio del siglo XX. Su experiencia en escenarios bélicos de todo el mundo marcó su vida y dejó huella en su posterior obra literaria. Con el tiempo, el antiguo reportero fue configurando una biografía de guerra que es, además, uno de los relatos más extraordinarios del periodismo en lengua española. Este libro reúne, en orden cronológico, una selección de crónicas y reportajes escritos en los setenta y los ochenta, a los que se añaden los artículos publicados en las últimas décadas sobre conflictos pasados y presentes, dignidad y cobardía, verdad y manipulación. En estas páginas compartimos la memoria de un hombre que estuvo donde muy pocos querían estar y contó lo que muchos prefieren olvidar.

    El autor afirma en el prólogo: «La guerra se queda en tu cabeza y ya no te abandona jamás. No son solo nombres y rostros. También los lugares retornan con la misma terquedad: Mostar, Sarajevo, Vukovar, Beirut, Malabo, Kassala, Managua, Yamena, Paso de la Yegua, Jartum, Bucarest, Nairobi, El Aaiún, Bagdad, Luanda, Maputo, Tessenei, Petrinja... Con el tiempo, los recuerdos se vuelven racimos de cerezas, donde unas tiran de otras: un nombre trae una esquina acribillada a tiros; una ciudad trae un rostro; una habitación de hotel devuelve una conversación; una soledad o una música te hacen recordar una carretera, una sonrisa o una tumba. Y no se trata de nostalgia, sino del simple archivo de una larga vida. Del material con que luego uno escribe novelas y algunas noches, desvelado en la oscuridad, paga el precio de haber mirado tanto tiempo al ser humano sin apartar los ojos».

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    A WAR BIOGRAPHY.

    An essential book for understanding Arturo Pérez-Reverte’s literary perspective.

    “I walked through a world at war trying to understand. No one told me about it. I was there, and this is what I saw.”

    For twenty-one years as a war reporter, Arturo Pérez-Reverte experienced firsthand the bloodiest conflicts of the last third of the 20th century. His experience in war zones around the world shaped his life and left its mark on his subsequent literary work. Over time, the former reporter pieced together a war memoir that is, moreover, one of the most extraordinary accounts in Spanish-language journalism. This book brings together, in chronological order, a selection of chronicles and reports written in the 1970s and 1980s, supplemented by articles published in recent decades on past and present conflicts, dignity and cowardice, truth and manipulation. In these pages, we share the memories of a man who was where very few wanted to be and told what many prefer to forget.

    The author states in the prologue: “War stays in your head and never leaves you. It’s not just names and faces. The places also return with the same stubbornness: Mostar, Sarajevo, Vukovar, Beirut, Malabo, Kassala, Managua, N’Djamena, Paso de la Yegua, Khartoum, Bucharest, Nairobi, El Aaiún, Baghdad, Luanda, Maputo, Tessenei, Petrinja... Over time, memories become clusters of cherries, where one pulls at another: a name brings to mind a street corner riddled with bullet holes; a city brings a face; a hotel room brings back a conversation; a moment of solitude or a piece of music makes you recall a road, a smile, or a grave. And this is not nostalgia, but simply the archive of a long life. The material with which one later writes novels and, on some nights, lying awake in the darkness, pays the price for having looked so long at the human being without looking away.”
