El joven teniente Francis P. Bacon recibe la orden de capturar al cient\u00edfico que control\u00f3 las investigaciones at\u00f3micas del Tercer Reich.Como Mefist\u00f3feles de Hitler, Klingsor, su nombre clave, supervisaba la organizaci\u00f3n secreta de f\u00edsicos y m\u00edsticos de la SS dedicada a resolver la construcci\u00f3n de la bomba at\u00f3mica. Mientras persigue las huellas de Klingsor, y con ellas el rastro de complicidad de la \u00e9lite alemana en los protocolos del horror, el teniente Bacon descubre a su vez los escurridizos dilemas del amor y el sexo, los disfraces de la personalidad, la infinita sutileza de la mentira, cayendo de bruces en la desgarradora encrucijada de la incertidumbre moral que preside nuestra \u00e9poca.La novela desarrolla el tema capital de la responsabilidad moral del cient\u00edfico, concretada en la Alemania nazi y su b\u00fasqueda de la bomba at\u00f3mica. Klingsor es el nombre de un oscuro mito germ\u00e1nico, que al cabo es un vac\u00edo, porque nadie lo encuentra, y era el nombre clave del asesor cient\u00edfico de Hitler. Poco importa si existi\u00f3, aunque existiera, parece querer decirnos el autor; la responsabilidad en el discurso mort\u00edfero nazi, incluida la proyectada fabricaci\u00f3n de la bomba at\u00f3mica, tiene mucho de colectiva. Persigue a Klingsor el teniente norteamericano Francis Bacon, que es el protagonista de la f\u00e1bula, y cuenta la historia el cient\u00edfico Gustav Links, que redacta sus memorias en un manicomio de la Rep\u00fablica Democr\u00e1tica alemana, donde lleva recluido 40 a\u00f1os, en el oto\u00f1o de 1989, cuando est\u00e1 cayendo el Muro de Berl\u00edn, sincron\u00eda que no parece casual.La novela constituye una s\u00f3lida indagaci\u00f3n en el universo de los grandes f\u00edsicos de preguerra; la tarea documental est\u00e1 registrada en nota conclusiva. Desde este punto de vista es deslumbrante -sobreabunda en informaci\u00f3n y conocimiento sobre la f\u00edsica cu\u00e1ntica-, y llamamos la atenci\u00f3n sobre la poca grata imagen que presenta del gran f\u00edsico Heisenberg, as\u00ed como sobre las implicaciones de toda \u00edndole de las teor\u00edas de la Incertidumbre, de la Relatividad, de Juegos… Un Heisenberg dispuesto a estatuir para la ciencia el control del mundo. Todo ello sobre una fabulaci\u00f3n poblada de intrigas amorosas; no se resuelve, por tanto, en busca en especulaciones abstractas, desencarnadas o escuetamente doctrinales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
