" The Supreme Kuñatai, Dayana Urunaga "
NOVELA OF THE ERIC COURTHÉS:
seems interesting to start a work of fiction with a series of considerations about death. We know that when the Judeo-Christian West lucid could convalesce and heal the taboo of sex was not to discover that behind was a much bigger puzzle: death, he had founded all the religions of the world, had risen after the ashes of sex. This true "documents mortis" we received in Courthés Eric's book, a biographical novel about Aimé Bonpland, the comprehensive study of life. Say
biographical novel because, although through the text and paratexts, the author constantly change narratee, all the facts about the life of Bonpland are almost obsessively identified, supported and documented. The novel can be read almost alone, just open and stare because Bonpland's life is far from that idea of cabinet wise than we ever imagined .. Someone who knew and tried one on one with Simon Bolivar, José de San Martín, Gaspar France, Pancho Ramirez, Rivadavia, Juan Pujol, Pedro Ferré and Napoleon Bonaparte (among others, and others ...) can not be neutral collector who lives locked in an herbarium. And the adventurous life of the author's passionate character Bonpland, Eric Courthés, which moves the work pieces in a chronological order but starting from a long absent from the witness death, from death itself which, as we all know, the cessation of all time in the darkness and immobility.
From that voice perturbation space (or writing) of Bonpland-character starts questioning who tried to kill post-mortem. Eric Courthés, French, Charente and Bonpland, mixed episodes, characters from other novels, biographical snippets, meetings, dialogues, reflections, and this all makes up the fictional universe of the narrative. While Eric
Courthés chose to narrate plot imaginary life Bonpland, narrative syntax used, the selection of facts, causation and sequence of the same, everything is taken biography of Aimé Bonpland and serve exactly a faithful reading of the life of the wise and at the same time the aesthetic purpose of the work.
Perhaps the most enduring feature of this reading of "The journey of no return Amado Bonpland" crystal is that of the friendship between Bonpland and Alexander von Humboldt in and out of the story, but there is always the background of mutual loyalty between the two scholars , reflecting unequivocal loyalty to themselves, who knows no jealousy and mistrust behind the glory.
The Bonpland conflicting family relationships, from "Les Chauvins to La Malmaison" do not overwhelm the axis of the plot, it becomes exciting, and that the strength of a massacre of Indians Orinoco alternate route to the delicate descriptions of a bud or a flower.
Where is the narrator of the story?, Tempted to ask. A happy combination of memories and testimonies, confessions and conversations, the narrating voice becomes ubiquitous despite the thread of the first person that seems to dominate the play. Another aspect that I do not want to leave out is the enthusiasm of Latin America that Eric gives the character gives the character much as Eric. The description, for example, Martin Garcia Island, which the author visited, displays a whole range of feelings that put us in that time and out of time and space that (like me) know. The failed experience of La Candelaria, the closure in Tevikuary (where the French Gaspar jailed for 10 years) ... the whole novel is built with the charm of an unknown past of a man even more unknown to most. This life full of vicissitudes advances the plot of the play, and it seems like those fatalities of Greek tragedies, in which human will has little room because there is a relentless fate takes precedence over man's vision, as if the unfortunate Latin American history embody a stranger suddenly, such as character and as the author.
