Queridos camaradas

Javier Reverte, the great traveler and writer, set course for his last journey on October 31, 2020. Just a few days before he handed over to his editors these pages on which he had worked for the last fifteen years, gathering in them memories and reflections on life, travel and writing, his great passions. A happy and luminous memory that starts in childhood, "true homeland of man" in the words of his admired Rilke; he goes through his youthful years, in which his commitment to politics and journalism was born; his stage as a correspondent, in which he covered conflicts such as the Irish or the Bosnian war and his discovery of Africa, the continent that forever opened the path of literature and adventure.
