La verdad de la patria

"The truth of the country is sung by hymns: they are all war songs." This "wreck", one of the oldest among those published by Ferlosio, points to the very core of her concept of homeland, and to the reasons for the disgust that she never ceased to profess towards the feelings that exalt and venerate it. Very early on, Ferlosio, always critical of any brand of "Spaniards", was also critical of the way in which the construction of the "State of Autonomies" was approached, promoting fetishism of identity and identity in the different communities of the Peninsula. historical consciousness. Written over the course of almost four decades, the articles, essays and wrecks gathered in this volume take on an unprecedented topicality in light of the conflicts of the present, and constitute an important contribution to the clarification of their nature, their causes and its dangers.
