Marcialovo tajemství
Matku máme jen jednu. Ale otec je záhada, kterou musí každé dítě rozluštit.
Intimní příběh o rodinných tajemstvích, oceněný cenou Premio Nadal 2025.
Spisovatel, člen španělské komunity v Buenos Aires, se roky po smrti svého otce snaží odhalit jeho skutečnou osobnost. Marcial Fernández, emigrant z Asturie, měl – podobně jako mnoho mužů své doby – vždy potíže navázat se synem hlubší vztah. Když u něj objevil literární vášeň, potrestal ho lety mlčení a nesouhlasu. Jediným poutem mezi nimi zůstaly klasické hollywoodské filmy, které spolu sledovali v televizi – jakási nepřímo předávaná citová výchova, plná náznaků a nedorozumění. Jak se vypravěč postupně noří do otcovy minulosti, nachází stopy, které naznačují, že Marcial vedl tajný život – a začíná být posedlý touhou ho odhalit.
Výjimečně krásný a také bolestný román, napsaný s vypravěčskou jistotou a místy až s nádechem napětí. Je poctou španělským emigrantům a filmům, které formovaly identitu předešlých generací, a zároveň proniká do nejskrytějších rodinných tajemství a často komplikovaného vztahu mezi milujícími rodiči a dětmi.
