Overview

El nuevo libro de Rosa Montero, Premio Nacional de las Letras Españolas

La realidad convertida en la mejor literatura

«Por la creación de un universo personal, cuya temática refleja sus compromisos vitales y existenciales, que ha sido calificado como la ética de la esperanza».
Jurado del Premio Nacional de las Letras Españolas

«Una cree entrever por un momento, como bajo el latigazo de un relámpago, el trasfondo de lo real».

La matanza de los abogados de Atocha, el intento de golpe de Estado, las vísperas del éxodo en Riaño, la gira del papa por España, la de Miguel Ríos con su exitosísimo Rock and Ríos, el juicio por la desaparición del Nani, los estragos de la droga, los del terrorismo... En la década de los ochenta, España vivió una época apasionante: la Transición. Como muestra este libro, los años del mayor intento colectivo de democratización y modernización del país fueron turbulentos, caleidoscópicos, llenos de violencia y de esperanza al mismo tiempo.
 
Cuentos verdaderos reúne las crónicas y los reportajes que Rosa Montero, una de las voces más importantes del periodismo y la literatura de las últimas décadas, publicó en El País durante el periodo 1978-1988. Escritos la mayoría de ellos con las técnicas de la mejor ficción y alejada ya en el tiempo la urgencia por contar la actualidad, se leen hoy como si fueran relatos. Es la literatura abriéndose paso impetuosamente.
 
La autora afirma en el prólogo: «Estas crónicas nos trasladan a territorios remotos. Hay otros mundos, pero están en éste, como decía Éluard. En ocasiones resultan tan insólitas, tan alucinantes, que me siento un poco como esas presentadoras de las antiguas ferias que se desgañitaban anunciando los gabinetes de curiosidades: el Hombre Serpiente, la Mujer Barbuda... Aquí estoy, en efecto, plantada ante la puerta. Y simplemente digo: pasen y vean».

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The new book by Rosa Montero, winner of the National Prize for Spanish Literature

Reality elevated to the ranks of literature

The Atocha massacre, an attempted coup d’état, the flooding of Riaño, the Pope’s visit, Miguel Ríos’s Rock and Ríos tour, the trial of the accused killers of “El Nani,” the drug epidemic, terrorism... The 1980s were a tumultuous decade in Spain, as the country made the transition from dictatorship and collectively embraced democratization and modernization. As evidenced by this book, it was a period that was at once turbulent, multi-faceted, violent and hopeful.
 
True Tales is a compilation of reports and accounts published by Rosa Montero, one of the most important voices in Spanish journalism and literature, in Spain’s El País newspaper between 1978 and 1988. Using sophisticated literary techniques, and several decades removed from the urgency that propelled them, these pieces read more like fiction today, marking their transition into literature.
 
As Montero explains in the prologue: “These accounts transport us to far-off territories. There are other worlds, but they are in this one, as Éluard said. They are sometimes so strange, so unbelievable, that I feel a little like a carnival barker for a sideshow like the Snake Man or the Bearded Lady... And that’s really all I’m doing: standing at the door and saying, ‘come inside; see for yourselves.’”
