Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda \u00c1lvarez recrea aqu\u00ed un episodio algo turbio \u2013verdaderoo falso, \u00bfqu\u00e9 m\u00e1s da?, aunque si probable y, en todo caso, veros\u00edmil\u2013 de la vidadel pr\u00edncipe F\u00e9lix Yussupov, m\u00e1s conocido como el hombre que mat\u00f3 a Rasput\u00edn,durante una de sus largas estancias en el Biarritz del a\u00f1o 1934, cuando portoda Europa planeaba el fantasma uniformado de los totalitarismos. \u00c1lvarezafirma que \u00e9l se ha limitado simplemente a rescatar del olvido unos papelespersonales y muy \u00edntimos del pr\u00edncipe Yussupov que fueron a parar a manos de sut\u00edo abuelo por medicaci\u00f3n de un entra\u00f1able amigo com\u00fan, Stefano di Sant\u2019Angelo,quien a\u00f1adi\u00f3 al manuscrito original de Yussupov unas p\u00e1ginas acerca de suspropias experiencias er\u00f3ticas, de su amigo el pr\u00edncipe y de sus contempor\u00e1neos. Cuando Yussupov, ya entrado en a\u00f1os, encuentra por primeravez a Mich\u00e8le, no pod\u00eda imaginar que esa jovenc\u00edsima golfilla de gran bellezacambiar\u00eda radicalmente su vida. Hombre de gran mundo, seductor, y conocido porsus desvergonzadas aventuras er\u00f3ticas en los tiempos de la corte del zar Nicol\u00e1sII, de pronto sucumbe a la atracci\u00f3n sexual que ejerce sobre \u00e9l esa jovenvulgar, pero cuyas artes amatorias lo convierten pr\u00e1cticamente en un sumisoadicto de sus encantos. Mientras el pr\u00edncipe Yussupov vive la intensa felicidad de esa atroz \u00abposesi\u00f3n\u00bb, cuyo delirio comparte el lector gracias a la terrible sinceridad que se desprende de estas confesiones, la refinada sociedad que le rodea, espectro de tiempos ya irremediablamente muertos, espera, impotente, el advenimiento de sombr\u00edos acontecimientos. Yussupov, aun sabiendo que su \u00edntima entrega a Mich\u00e8le algo tiene que ver con el deterioro del mundo que ha sido el suyo hasta entonces, se deja arrastrar por sus instintos hacia un desenlace que no puede ser sino tan descarnado como su propia, desplazada, vetusta pasi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
