Overview

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

La realidad convertida en la mejor literatura

Ā«Por la creaciĆ³n de un universo personal, cuya temĆ”tica refleja sus compromisos vitales y existenciales, que ha sido calificado como la Ć©tica de la esperanzaĀ».
Jurado del Premio Nacional de las Letras EspaƱolas

Ā«Una cree entrever por un momento, como bajo el latigazo de un relĆ”mpago, el trasfondo de lo realĀ».

La matanza de los abogados de Atocha, el intento de golpe de Estado, las vĆ­speras del Ć©xodo en RiaƱo, la gira del papa por EspaƱa, la de Miguel RĆ­os con su exitosĆ­simo Rock and RĆ­os, el juicio por la desapariciĆ³n del Nani, los estragos de la droga, los del terrorismo... En la dĆ©cada de los ochenta, EspaƱa viviĆ³ una Ć©poca apasionante: la TransiciĆ³n. Como muestra este libro, los aƱos del mayor intento colectivo de democratizaciĆ³n y modernizaciĆ³n del paĆ­s fueron turbulentos, caleidoscĆ³picos, llenos de violencia y de esperanza al mismo tiempo.
Ā 
Cuentos verdaderos reĆŗne las crĆ³nicas y los reportajes que Rosa Montero, una de las voces mĆ”s importantes del periodismo y la literatura de las Ćŗltimas dĆ©cadas, publicĆ³ en El PaĆ­s durante el periodo 1978-1988. Escritos la mayorĆ­a de ellos con las tĆ©cnicas de la mejor ficciĆ³n y alejada ya en el tiempo la urgencia por contar la actualidad, se leen hoy como si fueran relatos. Es la literatura abriĆ©ndose paso impetuosamente.
Ā 
La autora afirma en el prĆ³logo: Ā«Estas crĆ³nicas nos trasladan a territorios remotos. Hay otros mundos, pero estĆ”n en Ć©ste, como decĆ­a Ɖluard. En ocasiones resultan tan insĆ³litas, tan alucinantes, que me siento un poco como esas presentadoras de las antiguas ferias que se desgaƱitaban anunciando los gabinetes de curiosidades: el Hombre Serpiente, la Mujer Barbuda... AquĆ­ estoy, en efecto, plantada ante la puerta. Y simplemente digo: pasen y veanĀ».

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 dā€™Ć©tat, the flooding of RiaƱo, the Popeā€™s visit, Miguel RĆ­osā€™s Rock and RĆ­os tour, the trial of the accused killers of ā€œEl Nani,ā€ 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.
Ā 
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 Spainā€™s El PaĆ­s 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.
Ā 
As Montero explains in the prologue: ā€œThese accounts transport us to far-off territories. There are other worlds, but they are in this one, as Ɖluard 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 thatā€™s really all Iā€™m doing: standing at the door and saying, ā€˜come inside; see for yourselves.ā€™ā€
