No callar

This volume brings together an exciting selection of the best texts published in the last two decades by Javier Cercas, currently one of the most important European writers. They address some major issues of our time, such as the rise of national-populism, the crisis of liberal democracy or the discredit of the truth, as well as its reverberations in Spain, from Catalan secessionism or the so-called new politics to the rereading or the falsification of the Civil War, Francoism and the Transition. But here you will also find lucid and passionate claims to the power of literature (or art in general), unforgettable portraits of writers, historical figures, filmmakers, musicians or athletes, exciting fragments of personal and collective memory pregnant in equal parts with melancholy and in a hilarious mood. The result is an absorbing book, essential to understand the 21st century, but above all to understand ourselves.
