Estelibro re\u00fane, revisados y en su edici\u00f3n definitiva, los dos \u00fanicos vol\u00famenes decuentos de Ramiro Pinilla, Recuerda, oh, recuerda (1975) y Primerashistorias de la guerra interminable (1977). De escasa circulaci\u00f3n en sumomento e inencontrables desde hace a\u00f1os, esos dos vol\u00famenes no pasaron deltodo inadvertidos, pues algunos de los relatos fueron seleccionados enantolog\u00edas con los mejores cuentos de la literatura espa\u00f1ola del siglo XX. Y esque contienen, sin duda, algunas de las p\u00e1ginas m\u00e1s luminosas y conmovedorasdel autor. Como en las leyendas fundacionales, los primeros relatos parten deun mundo primigenio y m\u00edtico (y no menos ir\u00f3nico), en el que las tribusoriginarias, los Baskardos, deciden su nombre al o\u00edr el fragor de las olascontra los acantilados y, como orgullosos \u00abhombres de madera\u00bb, se resisten alprogreso y los inventos t\u00e9cnicos. Sus herederos protagonizan otras historias,de resonancias fabulosas, en las que trafican con ballenas varadas y descubrenmujeres hermosas que parecen sirenas. O asisten a otros hitos significativos enla historia de su pueblo, como la irrupci\u00f3n de un ej\u00e9rcito de llamas tra\u00eddas deAm\u00e9rica, a cuyo jefe de la manada se intenta dar caza como un emblema de lalibertad. O son testigos del destino del m\u00e1s poderoso de los \u00abhombres dehierro\u00bb, entregado en cuerpo y alma a los altos hornos. Todo se detiene en lasegunda parte, en las escenas de una \u00abguerra interminable\u00bb, que condena a lospersonajes a la represi\u00f3n y el dolor, de los ni\u00f1os que asisten a la humillaci\u00f3nde sus mayores, o de los maestros o incluso los jugadores de f\u00fatbol, que nadieest\u00e1 dispuesto a reconocer. En el tono m\u00edtico o en el realista, los dos librosmuestran, a modo de embriones anticipatorios, algunos de los nudos narrativosde la deslumbrante trilog\u00eda Verdes valles, colinas rojas. Y descubren lapoderosa imaginaci\u00f3n y la diestra versatilidad de un narrador de tallaexcepcional, que ya en estos libros supo con clarividencia que estabaconstruyendo un universo propio, inagotable y autosuficiente: un Getxo en elque se condensaba y cifraba la historia de todo un pa\u00eds<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
