XL Premio Lizardi 2021

Zubizarreta, Patxi

At the summit of the Alps, Bereket received Gaspard's news: "I have discovered at least two bodies on the Tsanfleuron Glacier." The news has shaken and disturbed the young glaciologist, and he did not feel good until he learned the origins of the history and the tragic truth, right there in the heart of the Pyrenees. The Inuit, in order to catch the wolf, hide the handle of the knife in the ice, and grease the sharp mouth left outside with grease. The hungry wolf will arrive and, unnoticed, will eagerly lick the fat, along with his blood and tongue fragments. This is how the reader swallows the story of an infanticide, perhaps unaware that he is reading the history of mankind, without realizing that he is on the blurred line between man and beast: homo homini lupus? The fine reader may later realize that this ancient history is insurmountable and that in order to be saved, we must first face what is horrible to us, what we deny ourselves.
