Aguirre, el magnÃfico. Manuel Vicent
Alfaguara (Madrid, 2011)
Hace años, en una noche romana de luz narcótica y cerveza aguada, un hombre que recorrÃa Italia tres veces por semana me dijo que sus compatriotas son por definición ladrones y astutos. Podemos aplicar el sÃmil a España cambiando la segunda palabra por picaresca. Ya lo tienen. Todos los analistas deberÃan abandonar sus sesudos estudios por la simplicidad de lo evidente. Napoleón y Jesús Aguirre se parecen en dos factores: el ego y la irresistible capacidad de ascender a costa de todo y todos, sin complejos ni tapujos. El vicio nacional de arrimarse al hombro que conviene tuvo su mayor paradigma en un hombre marcado por ser un bastardo, impulso definitivo, fuerza intangible de acción que le propulsó del seminario al Palacio de Liria. ¿Su vida? ¡Menuda novela!
