Sin ir más lejos / Without Going Further (Spanish Edition)

â€œLlegÃ³ la hora de recapitular. Hay que ir haciendo las maletas. Desaparecer es una actividad ingrata que sÃ³lo se justifica porque es la Ãºnica prueba irrefutable de que hemos vividoâ€.

En estas pÃ¡ginas, el escritor y periodista cubano Carlos Alberto Montaner escribe sobre cuanto ha visto y oÃdo, lo que ha creido y lo que recuerda, pero advierte que habrÃ¡ algunos pasajes involuntariamente inventados: â€œA veces, incluso, los sueÃ±os se mezclan con la realidad y es difÃcil saber dÃ³nde terminan unos y comienza la otra. Las memorias no son estudios histÃ³ricos sino el reflejo de las percepciones y Ã©stas se desdibujan o se transforman con el tiempo de manera inexorableâ€.

Con estas memorias, que decidiÃ³ comenzar a redactar en 2015, Montaner hablarÃ¡ sobre la RevoluciÃ³n Cubana, ocurrida durante su adolescencia y que moldeÃ³ su vida. ContinuarÃ¡ con sus aÃ±os de exilio, que comenzÃ³ a los 18 aÃ±os y lo llevaron de Miami a Puerto Rico, de allÃ a EspaÃ±a y nuevamente a Miami, siempre con un pie en un aviÃ³n. â€œUtilizarÃ© estos recuerdos para incursionar en el juicio histÃ³rico y polÃticoâ€.

Pese a haber vivido fuera de Cuba las cuatro quintas partes de su vida, Montaner advierte que â€œno recuerdo un solo dÃa en el que esa isla no hubiera estado presente en mÃ de alguna forma. Siempre ha existido una llamada, una noticia, un visitante, un artÃculo, un libro, una entrevista, una firma colectiva, una conversaciÃ³n, algo que me obligaba a recordar mi condiciÃ³n de exiliado y me retrotraÃa al centro del conflictoâ€.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

â€œLetâ€™s recap. Get packing. Disappearing is a thankless activity that is only justified because it is the only irrefutable proof that we have lived.â€
Â
In this book, Cuban writer and journalist Carlos Alberto Montaner talks about all that he has seen and heard, believed and remembered, but he warns that there may be some passages that were unwittingly invented: â€œsometimes, even, dreams mix with reality and it is difficult to know where one ends and the other begins. Memories are not historical studies but the reflection of perceptions, and those inevitably blur or transform over time.â€
Â
With these memories, which he decided to start writing in 2015, Montaner talks about the Cuban Revolution, which happened during his adolescence and forever shaped his life. He continues with his years in exile, which started when he was 18 and took him from Miami to Puerto Rico, then to Spain and again to Miami, always with one foot on a plane. â€œI will use these memories to dabble in historical and political judgment.â€
Â
Despite having lived outside of Cuba for 80% of his life, Montaner warns that â€œI donâ€™t remember a single day in which that island wasnâ€™t present in me in some way. There has always been a call, a piece of news, a visitor, an article, a book, an interview, a joint venture, a conversation, something that requires me to remember my condition as an exile and takes me back to the center of the conflict.â€
