LOS DÍAS ESTÁN CONTADOS

En 1937, en una casa de Valencia con los cristales rotos por los primeros bombardeos, un grupo de escritores y artistas republicanos se reúnen para fundar una de las mejores revistas de cultura que hayan existido en nuestro país : «Hora de España». En 1947, regresado de la derrota, de las semanas en el campo de concentración francés y de los años de improvisado vivir en México, Brasil y Argentina, uno de ellos, Juan Gil-Albert, vuelve a esa casa que era la suya, para reanudar, en unas condiciones de marginación social y literaria que a fuerza de inevitables llegarán a hacérsele deseables, el hilo de una vida definitivamente cambiada. Esta es la aventura que entre muchas otras teje la trama de Los días están contados, la más antigua de las obras de Gil-Albert que en este libro, al que ella presta título, se recogen invirtiendo el orden cronológico. Meditación autobiográfica de quien instintivamente escogió el exilio en su tierra, en sus páginas late el germen vivo, y a veces exasperado, de muchas de las ideas y las actitudes que se explayan en las otras tres piezas. Abre, pues, el volumen, la más reciente : Viscontiniana, relato autobiográfico a la vez que homenaje al arte de Luchino Visconti y a su versión cinematográfica de Muerte en Venecia. Apreciación estética, digresiones y narración alternan y se funden admirablemente en la rara y encantadora unidad del conjunto. Entre estos dos ensayos autobiográficos, A propósito del Arte, de Andalucía, de Ortega y Gasset y de otras cuestiones patrias y Genio y figura son textos afines que demuestran la capacidad de distanciación y la libertad de espíritu de su autor. Como buen exiliado, de afuera o de adentro, Gil-Albert encuentra en la realidad española motivo frecuente para la irritación ; pero eso no le impide a veces contemplarla en extranjero como un apasionante y peculiar espectáculo.

POMPEU FABRA: L’AVENTURA DE LA LLENGUA

L'any 1932, amb la publicació del Diccionari, Pompeu Fabra arriba al cim de la seva carrera professional i al reconeixement públic unànime. Sembla que tots els elements s'han conjurat, finalment, per al triomf de la reforma lingüística. Però el recorregut fins a arribar a aquest moment no ha estat fàcil. Les dificultats i oportunitats que s'han succeït al llarg dels anys abans d'assolir aquesta fita, converteixen Fabra en un autèntic aventurer de la llengua.
