Overview
«El gran escritor español.», Garth Risk Hallberg, The New York Times
«El mayor escritor vivo.», Aldo Cazullo, Il Corriere della Sera
«Tengo a Javier Cercas por uno de los mejores escritores de nuestra lengua.» Mario Vargas Llosa, El País
Este volumen reúne una apasionante selección de los mejores textos publicados en las últimas dos décadas por Javier Cercas, ahora mismo uno de los escritores europeos más relevantes. En ellos se abordan algunos temas capitales de nuestro tiempo, como el auge del nacionalpopulismo, la crisis de la democracia liberal o el descrédito de la verdad, así como sus reverberaciones en España, desde el secesionismo catalán o la llamada nueva política hasta la relectura o la falsificación de la Guerra Civil, el franquismo y la Transición.
Pero aquí se encontrarán también lúcidas y apasionadas reivindicaciones del poderío de la literatura (o del arte en general), retratos inolvidables de escritores, personajes históricos, cineastas, músicos o deportistas, emocionantes fragmentos de memoria personal y colectiva preñados a partes iguales de melancolía y de un humor descacharrante. El resultado es un libro absorbente, imprescindible para entender el siglo XXI, pero sobre todo para entendernos a nosotros mismos.

"I consider Javier Cercas to be one of the best writers in our language." Mario Vargas Llosa, El País
This volume brings together an exciting selection of the best texts published in the last two decades by Javier Cercas, currently one of the most important European writers. They address some of the most important issues of our time, such as the rise of national populism, the crisis of liberal democracy or the discrediting of truth, as well as its reverberations in Spain, from Catalan secessionis or the so-called new politics until the rereading or falsification of the Civil War, Francoism and the Transition.
But here you will also find lucid and passionate vindications of the power of literature (or art in general), unforgettable portraits of writers, historical figures, filmmakers, musicians or athletes, exciting fragments of personal and collective memory pregnant in equal parts with melancholy and a hilarious humour. The result is an absorbing book, essential for understanding the 21st century, but above all for understanding ourselves.This book title, No callar: Crónicas, ensayos y artículos 2000-2022 / Don't be silent, ISBN: 9786070799488, by Javier Cercas, published by Planeta Publishing Corp (May 28, 2024) is available in paperback.
