On 7 February, the poet Miguel Angel Contreras has published a review of pain Income Ideal newspaper . In an excellent article referred to the contribution of the novel on the subject of historical memory. 'Without rancor, without forgetting' is like the owner wanted his analysis, and with it and the text that we believe it is wise justified as this novel represents.
reproduce the text of the review below:
"Some new books have the virtue of offering its readers the possibility of a dialogue through certain issues and situations that even as the result of a point today, sinking its referent in the deeper collective unconscious.
When it opened several years the debate about historical memory, the feelings that caused many of us were, at times, found: one was for justice and democratic maturity restore the memory of many victims of the Civil War and dictatorship to which they had been left in the gutters of oblivion, on the other, in a society as friends of conflict and the entrenched disagreement, this appeared to offer a high risk of opening old wounds and old grudges that we all wanted to buried forever.
The novel 'The rent of pain' Antonio Lara Ramos (Sevilla, RD Editors, 2008), reminds us from the archetype that represents the main character, Matilde Santos, the drama which led many men and women for the years of exile to which they were entered, after having leave Spain in 1939, leaving behind friends, family, landscapes and experiences, and how many of them around during the last years of the dictatorship was silently with the sole purpose of recovering its roots. In the novel, its protagonist Granada is located in the mid-60 is the most obvious witness the passage of time, and the city a figure more in this whole claim of a past: the face Grenada had changed, its plain and even its people, who were beginning to sense the air of freedom that came in the room. And yet, Matilde Santos, like most of the exiles who returned at that time, did not come with a grudge.
The attitude of generosity and harmony that so many people had during the 70's, and is recreated in "The income of pain ', helped in their day-to-let that Spain had a transition to democracy that Most historians have described as exemplary. Our recent past during the transition is an example of common sense and consensus that we should not to forget. Nor should we forget all those episodes in our recent history we are thorny and difficult to understand, because "people who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it."
honor the memory of all victims of the Civil War is a requirement for a company recovered. Of course, as perceived in Matilde Santos, the demand of our historic memory must be freed from anger and revenge themselves on people who have not learned anything from history, because being aware of our past will help us collectively to make it never again repeated. "
