El querido hermano
XVI Premio Málaga de Novela 2022
Pérez Azaústre, Joaquín
On the morning of Saturday, February 25, 1939, in Burgos, Manuel Machado receives the news that his brother Antonio has just died. The next day, Manuel and his wife, Eulalia Cáceres, receive the condolences of their friends at the Filomena pension, where they have lived in a room since, at the beginning of the Civil War, the couple was trapped in Burgos. Forced to remain in the capital of the Franco regime, Manuel has joined the National Uprising, but little is known about the real reasons that led him to do so and the danger his life was in. His brother Antonio de él represents the other Spain, which will follow the Republic into exile. However, despite the risk, Manuel decides to go, for the last time, to meet his brother. With the death of Antonio Machado, a world ends for Manuel, because he has lost his greatest companion in literature and in life. With a Falangist driver, Raúl, who hides a secret related to him, Manuel and Eulalia begin a trip by car to their brother's grave, between the devastation of the fratricidal landscape and their own memories of him and Antonio; especially, in the Paris of 1900, with the spectral presence of the last Oscar Wilde, where both found their poetic identities and lived incredible stories.
