El nuevo libro de Javier Cercas relata los últimos 50 años de la historia de España, que son los del diario El País, a través de un recorrido personal y una lúcida reflexión sobre los vínculos entre periodismo, literatura, política y libertades.El diario El País salió a la calle el 4 de mayo de 1976, menos de seis meses después de la muerte de Franco, cuando el camino a la democracia apenas empezaba a atisbarse. La idea del periódico se incubó entre un grupo de editores e intelectuales que, en las postrimerías del franquismo, buscaba un instrumento de reforma del régimen, de talante liberal y vocación europeísta, que contribuyera a suturar las heridas provocadas por la guerra civil y la dictadura y a hallar una salida sin traumas del franquismo. Su éxito fue fulgurante. A los 50 años de ese momento fundacional de la historia reciente española, Javier Cercas asumió el reto de contar la historia de un país a través de la de su periódico de referencia; pero El periódico de la democracia no es solo una historia personal de ese periodo: es también una reflexión acerca de la relación del periodismo con la literatura, una crónica de la formación intelectual de un escritor y un homenaje a la importancia de la prensa en la construcción y la defensa de las libertades.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONJavier Cercas’s new book recounts the last 50 years of Spain’s history—the same 50 years as the newspaper El País—through a personal journey and a lucid reflection on the ties between journalism, literature, politics, and freedom.El País first appeared on newsstands on May 4, 1976, less than six months after Franco’s death, at a time when the path toward democracy was only just beginning to emerge. The idea for the newspaper took shape among a group of publishers and intellectuals who, in the final years of the Franco regime, sought a tool for reform—liberal in spirit and European in outlook—that would help heal the wounds caused by the Civil War and the dictatorship and find a smooth, trauma-free transition from Francoism. Its success was meteoric.On the 50th anniversary of that foundational moment in Spain’s recent history, Javier Cercas took on the challenge of telling the story of a country through the story of its leading newspaper. But Democracy’s Newspaper is not only a personal account of that period: it is also a reflection on the relationship between journalism and literature, a chronicle of a writer’s intellectual formation, and a tribute to the vital role of the press in building and safeguarding freedoms.
