Por primera vez en Seix Barral la obra maestra de Antonio Muñoz Molina sobre el exilio y el desarraigo en el siglo XX.
En estas páginas Primo Levi, Franz Kafka, Evgenia Ginzburg, Milena Jesenska, Dolores Ibárruri o Walter Benjamin mezclan sus tragedias con las de personajes ficticios. Todos ellos comparten un estigma: un dÃa despiertan convertidos en lo que otros cuentan de ellos, en lo que alguien que no les ha conocido cuenta que le han contado, en lo que alguien que les odia imagina que son. Perseguidos por la infamia y arrojados de su casa y de su paÃs, se ven obligados a abandonar sus vidas.
Sefarad, nombre que en la tradición hebrea se da a España, designa aquà todos los exilios posibles. El Holocausto y el nazismo, el Gulag, la guerra civil española, el Imperio austrohúngaro, la Inquisición y la expulsión de los judÃos articulan a través de cada capÃtulo una sinfonÃa en la que la idea coral es una sola: la intolerancia, la persecución y la irracionalidad que asolan la historia de la humanidad, y que dan lugar al tÃtulo. Antonio Muñoz Molina nos ofrece una aproximación al mundo de los excluidos a través de este homenaje a la memoria.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
For the first time in Seix Barral, Antonio Muñoz Molina's masterpiece on exile and uprooting in the Twentieth Century.
In these pages Primo Levi, Franz Kafka, Evgenia Ginzburg, Milena Jesenska, Dolores Ibárruri or Walter Benjamin mix their tragedies with those of fictional characters. They all share a stigma: one day they wake up converted into what others say about them, into what someone who has not known them says they have been told, into what someone who hates them imagines them to be. Persecuted by infamy and driven from their home and their country, they are forced to abandon their lives.
Sefarad, the name given to Spain in the Hebrew tradition, designates here all possible exiles. The Holocaust and Nazism, the Gulag, the Spanish Civil War, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Inquisition and the expulsion of the Jews articulate through each chapter a symphony in which the choral idea is one: the intolerance, persecution and irrationality that devastate the history of humanity, and that give rise to the title.
Antonio Muñoz Molina offers us an approach to the world of the excluded through this tribute to memory.
