Pero tambi\u00e9n existe el viaje sin retorno, la odisea rectil\u00ednea y sin \u00cdtaca que transforma a un individuo que ya no regresa a casa. Dentro de este segundo apartado debe incluirse la original modalidad del viaje vertical que es el que, tanto en lo geogr\u00e1fico como en lo vital, emprende el protagonista de esta novela, el septuagenario Federico Mayol \u2014hombre de negocios, aficionado al p\u00f3ker, nacionalista catal\u00e1n\u2014 cuando al d\u00eda siguiente de celebrar sus bodas de oro se ve sorprendente y absurdamente obligado por su mujer a dejar para siempre el domicilio conyugal.Como siempre en Enrique Vila-Matas, pululan los fantasmas de la vejez, la soledad, la locura y centellea el dilema entre supervivencia y suicidio. En esta ocasi\u00f3n en forma de un viaje vertical que es, por su trayectoria geogr\u00e1fica (de Barcelona a Oporto para bajar a Lisboa y despu\u00e9s descender a Madeira y finalmente sumergirse en un extra\u00f1\u00edsimo destino final), una novela atl\u00e1ntica y al mismo tiempo la historia de una iniciaci\u00f3n a la cultura, es decir, la cl\u00e1sica novela de aprendizaje, de no ser porque su protagonista tiene una edad en la que generalmente ya nadie aprende nada.Y al fondo de toda la historia, el drama de una generaci\u00f3n de espa\u00f1oles que vio truncada su formaci\u00f3n cultural y las libertades republicanas por la guerra civil y los a\u00f1os de barbarie que siguieron.De Enrique Vila-Matas se ha dicho que es \u00abuno de los fen\u00f3menos m\u00e1s curiosos, originales y seductores de la narrativa espa\u00f1ola de nuestros d\u00edas\u00bb (Rafael Conte,Abc), que est\u00e1 inmerso en la \u00abdelicada operaci\u00f3n de preservar el sentido en el centro mismo del sinsentido, o mejor dicho: de devolverle a \u00e9ste su \u00edntima coherencia con una maestr\u00eda que hace de \u00e9l un autor insustituible\u00bb (Ignacio Echevarr\u00eda, El Pa\u00eds) y de quien puede afirmarse que es \u00abnuestro m\u00e1s popular escritor en Am\u00e9rica Latina\u00bb (J. A. Masoliver R\u00f3denas, La Vanguardia) o, como ha escrito Juan Forn en P\u00e1gina 12 de Buenos Aires: \u00abEl mejor escritor de la Espa\u00f1a actual para una secta cada vez mayor de fan\u00e1ticos desperdigados por el mundo: de Estocolmo a Veracruz, de Par\u00eds a Cabo Verde, de Lisboa a Praga, de Varsovia a Buenos Aires\u00bb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enrique Vila-Matas<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_brand":[23],"product_cat":[5808,8305,5807,5806],"product_tag":[5832],"class_list":["post-32390","product","type-product","status-publish","product_brand-epub-paradise","product_cat-ebooks","product_cat-enrique-vila-matas","product_cat-epub","product_cat-espanol","product_tag-realista","desktop-align-center","tablet-align-left","mobile-align-center","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-variable"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
