El nuevo libro de Rosa Montero, Premio Nacional de las Letras Espa???olas La realidad convertida en la mejor literatura ???Por la creaci???n de un universo personal, cuya tem???tica refleja sus compromisos vitales y existenciales, que ha sido calificado como la ???tica de la esperanza???. Jurado del Premio Nacional de las Letras Espa???olas ???Una cree entrever por un momento, como bajo el latigazo de un rel???mpago, el trasfondo de lo real???. La matanza de los abogados de Atocha, el intento de golpe de Estado, las v???speras del ???xodo en Ria???o, la gira del papa por Espa???a, la de Miguel R???os con su exitos???simo Rock and R???os, el juicio por la desaparici???n del Nani, los estragos de la droga, los del terrorismo... En la d???cada de los ochenta, Espa???a vivi??? una ???poca apasionante: la Transici???n. Como muestra este libro, los a???os del mayor intento colectivo de democratizaci???n y modernizaci???n del pa???s fueron turbulentos, caleidosc???picos, llenos de violencia y de esperanza al mismo tiempo. Cuentos verdaderos re???ne las cr???nicas y los reportajes que Rosa Montero, una de las voces m???s importantes del periodismo y la literatura de las ???ltimas d???cadas, public??? en El Pa???s durante el periodo 1978-1988. Escritos la mayor???a de ellos con las t???cnicas de la mejor ficci???n y alejada ya en el tiempo la urgencia por contar la actualidad, se leen hoy como si fueran relatos. Es la literatura abri???ndose paso impetuosamente. La autora afirma en el pr???logo: ???Estas cr???nicas nos trasladan a territorios remotos. Hay otros mundos, pero est???n en ???ste, como dec???a ???luard. En ocasiones resultan tan ins???litas, tan alucinantes, que me siento un poco como esas presentadoras de las antiguas ferias que se desga???itaban anunciando los gabinetes de curiosidades: el Hombre Serpiente, la Mujer Barbuda... Aqu??? 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'???tat, the flooding of Ria???o, the Pope's visit, Miguel R???os's Rock and R???os 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 Pa???s 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 ???luard 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.'"
