Libros: ¨El tango de la Guardia Vieja¨ -Arturo Pérez-Reverte-[...]Don Arturo se ha sacado de la manga otro pedazo de novelón. Esta vez ambientada en tres épocas distintas: en 1.928 a bordo de un crucero a Buenos Aires, en 1.937 en la Riviera francesa y en 1.966 en Sorrento (Italia). La mayoría de los comentarios que leí antes de leer el libro hablaban de una historia de amor. Que en el fondo es lo que es. Pero quizás yo me quedaría más con la vida de un caballero con mayúsculas, de maneras excelentes, de los de antes, que tiene que buscarse la vida para salir adelante manteniendo el estilo de vida que ha elegido llevar. De hecho al ir pasando páginas de vez en cuando me venían a la cabeza imágenes de Humphrey Bogart en Casablanca. Si se filmara una película sobre este libro y se hiciera bien se convertiría automáticamente en un clásico.Algo novedoso es que a medida que el escritor daba forma a la novela iba escribiendo sus reflexiones, sus fuentes, su proceso creativo en este blog: [...] Interesante de leer, mejor una vez terminado el libro que antes. De ese modo puedes tú mismo recrear en tu imaginación los lugares donde transcurre la acción y los personajes. El escritor los describe con todo lujo de detalles –con todo lujo de detalles- con lo que no hay que hacer demasiado esfuerzo.Extraigo un par de fragmentos del libro que he apuntado mientras leía:----¨- Leí algo hace mucho tiempo –añade ella- que me hizo pensar en ti.
El Tango de La Guardia Vieja by Arturo Pérez-Reverete Spanish EditionThis is a love story between Máximo (Max Costas) Covas Lauro and Mercedes (Mecha) Inzunza over three distinct periods of time: 1928, 1935, and 1966.The book opens in 1928, where Max is a professional dancer at the transatlantic luxury liner: The Cap Polonio, and he meets Meche and her husband, the famous Spanish composer Armando de Troeye. The young couple is going to Buenos Aires because Armando made a bet to the composer, Ravel, that he would compose a Tango to match Ravel's Bolero. Max is very useful, because he grew up in the poor sections of Buenos Aires, where they still dance the original and sensual tango - which is dirtier and faster paced - than the one which is danced in the famous Parisian clubs. Max and Meche do drugs and make love - even as Armando watches - and it ends as Max steals from Meche an expensive pearl necklace that he sells in Montevideo.Fast forward to 1966, where Meche's son, Jorge Keller is disputing a chess match between himself and the Russian world champion, Mijaíl Sokolov. Merche convinces Max to steal Sokolov's chess book to give the advantage to their son, Jorge. Max has to remember what it was to be young - as the book says: he has to find his old shadow - and at age 64 climb over fences and steal from the KGB and the Russian master what becomes his last adventure. While he's doing this, Pérez-Reverete re-enacts a similar episode in 1936 where Max is forced by fascist spies to steal a series of compromising letters from one of Merche's friends, Susana Ferriol, and again, like at every turn, Max does what he does best....The Author of the Dumas' Club does it again. The book is fascinating.
