Cuando la historia te quema las manos
Auden y Orwell entre dos guerras
Berga, Miquel
Far from England, one in New York, the other in Marrakech, Auden and Orwell live the year 1939 between the assimilation of the tragic lessons of the Spanish war and the anguish over the imminent outbreak of a new European war. The dangerous current of the story does not stop and, as an Auden verse says, "it burns your hands." This book explores the personal tensions of two decisive twentieth-century authors caught in an intense process to agree their political perceptions to their literary projects or, what is most urgent for them, their private voice to their public voice. In a sober game of mirrors between the two authors, Miquel Berga fuses biography, politics and literature in an essay as unique as it is illuminating.
