«Tiene raz n Octavio Paz al se alar a Ruy S nchez como uno de los mejores ensayistas contempor neos. Cada uno de sus textos tiene la riqueza narrativa de una novela y la inteligencia anal tica para se alar los temas fundamentales de nuestro tiempo. -Claude-Michel Cluny

Catorce ensayos narrativos sobre c mo viven grandes escritores la melancol a y c mo la enfrentan creativamente. Escritores que son claves de toda la obra de Ruy S nchez --Rilke en Par s, Yourcenar, Pasolini, Calvino, Beckett, Frisch, Hugo, Savinio-- son le dos como grandes catedrales g ticas. En otros mbitos, gracias a llevar la literatura en el cuerpo sobreviven a las opresiones g ticas del totalitarismo contempor neo Zamiatin y Orwell, Istrati, Herling, Shostakovich y Nadiezhda Mandelstam. Dos tumbas g ticas de sus maestros, Michel Foucault y Roland Barthes, cierran el par ntesis que abri en el libro con una introducci n sobre la naturaleza del ensayo, donde el mismo Roland Barthes ofrece la primera lecci n vital de pensamiento y escritura.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A dialogue with the inhabitants of the great melancholic dream of the twentieth century.

Sixteen narrative essays written with the prose that defines Alberto Ruy S nchez, revisits a protagonist--melancholy--that acts by the self and vindicates the body. The essays are divided in three sections. The first one, "Memories of Gothic Cathedrals," discusses the life and work of writers possessed by forces that overcome them, and for whom the vortex of living is visible in their work: Rilke, Alberto Savinio, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Italo Calvino, Marguerite Yourcenar, Samuel Beckett, Max Frisch, and Victor Hugo.

The second part, "Memories of Gothic Prisons," gathers writers under the destructive effect of dictatorial regimes. Those who survive bare the imprint of a shadow on their skin: Mikhail Shostakovich, Nadezhda Mandelstam, Eugeny Zamiatin, Geroge Orwell, Panait Istrati, Herling, Dostoyevsky, and Solzhenitsyn. The third part, "Memories of Gothic Tombs," addresses writers we lost while this book was being written. Each essay is a tombstone, a line onto them: Michel Foucault and Roland Barthes.
