Baroja, another fox (Oriol Pi de Cabanyes)


Pio Baroja was in many ways a writer of the nineteenth day of great ideals and great adventures that extended their worldview, their lives, half of the twentieth century. Always very concerned about the performance of his writing, it seems to those brave of serial novels of the nineteenth century that, as charged to that page, they needed to publish short lines resultón products.

If your professionalism as a writer was never easy, nor is determining the timing of the contents of their publications, as subject to rehashing and recycling of materials. Pla also cut and paste, it said in passing. And, as happens with Pla and many other citizens, writers or not, fresh from the trauma, the early postwar years are, if not self-examination, the recapitulation and recall. Baroja

starts composing his memoirs in 1941, most recently returning from exile (which he sought from the moment of victory in Navarra in the insurgents, and in July 1936). In 1942, the beginning to make known magazine deliveries week (he led until 1945, was appointed ambassador to Washington, its almost countryman Manuel Aznar Zubigaray, who came Josep Pla in Barcelona thinking direct La Vanguardia).

With the title From the last turn of the road , Baroja start editing his memoirs in book form in 1944. Although he had been encouraged "by an editor of Barcelona" (as he always, silencing Ponsa name, published by Youth), the collection in seven volumes, was published in New Library stamp, Madrid, until 1949 . Later published in one volume of his Complete Works and have been reprinted several times, the last but by Ballantine Books.

The last, in three volumes, which in 2006 Tusquets commemorated the fiftieth anniversary of his death, features (such as one eighth of the whole book had only seven) civil war border, the family publishing work Caro Reggio released posthumously in 2005 alone. Thing and gives an idea of \u200b\u200bhow Baroja receiving today has been influenced also by censorship or self-censorship.

In the memoirs of Baron, as Ollo Perez said, "we find repeated and extended episodes of childhood and youth recalled in other texts, so that some facts recounted, and some do not. "Yes, much repeated, until literally, but also missed a lot of unprintable dictatorship. collate it in his memoirs left as memories and views, for example, Youth , egotism (1917), reveals the extent to which postwar Baroja wisely hid his past anarchistic, anti-clerical and anti-militarist.
