        Description

        ¿Qué es Europa? Un continente fragmentado a lo largo de los siglos por las guerras, los conflictos fronterizos y la diversidad cultural.

        Como europeos, no tenemos una lengua ni una historia comunes, pero sí tenemos raíces, necesidades y ambiciones comunes. Estas similitudes nos llevaron a cumplir lo que, al final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, podría haberse denominado una «utopía razonable»: la Unión Europea.

        El escritor español Javier Cercas investiga sobre Europa y los europeos, sobre nuestro pasado, los conflictos, las ideologías y las personas que forjaron Europa tal y como la conocemos hoy. Aunque no se pueda encontrar una respuesta definitiva a todas las preguntas, la conclusión parece inevitable: a pesar de todas las hostilidades, tarde o temprano Europa acabará unificándose de manera natural.

        Este es el undécimo ensayo de la serie Big Ideas («Grandes Ideas») creada por el Banco Europeo de Inversiones.

        El BEI ha invitado a líderes del pensamiento internacionales a escribir sobre los temas más importantes de la actualidad. Estos ensayos son un recordatorio de que necesitamos nuevas ideas para proteger el medio ambiente, promover la igualdad y mejorar la vida de las personas en todo el mundo.

        About the author

        Javier Cercas
        Javier Cercas

        Javier Cercas (Ibahernando, Cáceres, 1962) es uno de los novelistas españoles de más prestigio internacional. En 2001 publicó Soldados de Salamina, que constituyó un gran éxito dentro y fuera de España, cosechando encendidos elogios de personalidades tan destacadas como George Steiner, J.M. Coetzee, Mario Vargas Llosa y Susan Sontag. La obra de Cercas se caracteriza por la atrevida exploración de los límites entre la realidad y la ficción (él mismo ha definido algunas de sus novelas como “relatos reales”), siempre con las miras puestas en el escrutinio del presente y de sus claves. La publicación de El monarca de las sombras (febrero 2017) cierra este formidable ejercicio literario de memoria personal sobre la Guerra Civil Española. Sus libros han sido traducidos a más de treinta idiomas y han obtenido numerosos premios nacionales e internacionales, como el Premio al Libro Europeo 2016 por su obra El Impostor y el Prix André Malraux 2018, en Francia, por El monarca de las sombras.
