Tras largos a帽os de destierro, Mario Benedetti no pod铆a sino producir lo que es esta `Primavera con una esquina rota`: un testimonio directo y dolorido, un libro emotivo y exaltante, una novela de construcci贸n sobria y rigurosamente literaria, que intenta ser un puente entre dos regiones -el Uruguay bajo la dictadura y el Uruguay del exilio- que en definitiva constituyen un solo y lacerado pa铆s.

About the author

Mario Benedetti

310books2,447followers
Mario Benedetti (full name: Mario Orlando Hamlet Hardy Brenno Benedetti Farugia) was a Uruguayan journalist, novelist, and poet. Despite publishing more than 80 books and being published in twenty languages he was not well known in the English-speaking world. He is considered one of Latin America's most important 20th-century writers.

Benedetti was a member of the 'Generation of 45', a Uruguayan intellectual and literary movement and also wrote in the famous weekly Uruguayan newspaper Marcha from 1945 until it was forcibly closed by the military government in 1973, and was its literary director from 1954. From 1973 to 1985 he lived in exile, and returned to Uruguay in March 1983 following the restoration of democracy.

Springtime in a Broken Mirror is a complex and wistful psychological story about the aftermath of political struggle. It is a tale of the difficult moral choice.
When you鈥檝e no choice but to stay in one place, you build up incredible mental agility. You can stretch out in the present as much as you like, or dizzily pitch yourself into the future, or you can slide into reverse: that鈥檚 dangerous, though, because it鈥檚 where your memories are, all of them: the good, the insignificant and the downright horrible.

The main character is in prison and his time stopped鈥� His wife, daughter, father and his comrades are in exile but they are free鈥� Their life continues鈥� They are alive and they are ruled by their feelings and emotions鈥�
In love, there are no ridiculous, absurd or obscene postures. Without love everything is ridiculous and kitsch and obscene. Such is the case with rules, with traditions.

Whatever happens to us the world won鈥檛 stand still鈥� The world moves on.

2017 PopSugar Reading Challenge #06: A book with one of the four seasons in the title.

"Nunca imagine que el estar feliz incluyera tanta tristeza."


Esta es una historia de exilio y de sus consecuencias. La historia de una familia obligada a separarse de su tierra, de sus amigos, de sus ideales y de si misma. Una historia triste y esperanzadora y cruda y tierna. Y quisiera decir que me ha gustado porque la escritura es llana, sincera y hermosa (que lo es), o porque la historia es real aunque sea ficticia (que lo es), o porque los personajes son tan humanos que siento que los conozco, que podr铆an ser mis vecinos, mi familia, mis amigos (que lo son). Pero no, el verdadero motivo de que haya logrado cautivarme es mucho m谩s superficial: Beatriz. Esa peque帽a Mafalda que comenta e interroga con extensa sabidur铆a infantil el peque帽o mundo que la rodea. Que me conmovi贸 y me hizo re铆r. Que se pregunta por su patria, que quiere a un perro llamado Sarcasmo, que calcula los ronquidos de un pa铆s, que debate el tama帽o de la palabra "libertad" y que nos explica, muy agudamente, que son los tangos.

"Los tangos son unas m煤sicas tristes que se bailan cuando uno est谩 alegre y as铆 vuelve a ponerse triste."


Esa ni帽a que me hizo pensar que despu茅s de la adultez hay muchos intelectuales, s铆. Pero pocos inteligentes.

De lo mejor que he le铆do de Benedetti, y eso es mucho decir porque ese se帽or era un rey.

Graciela, Santiago, Dom Rafael, Rolando e a pequena Beatriz ganharam estatuto de gente no meu cora莽茫o durante a leitura deste livro lind铆ssimo do inconfund铆vel Mario Benedetti. Penso que l谩 ir茫o continuar por muito tempo, com seus defeitos e virtudes, porque, quando a gente ama, 茅 mesmo com o pacote inteiro.
Adorei esta frase, que surge a p谩ginas tantas: "A hipocrisia 茅 um v铆cio, mas n茫o estou muito convencido de que a franqueza seja uma virtude". Resume um pouco a quest茫o de fundo, complexa quanto baste.
Al茅m de falar sobre encontros e desencontros amorosos, este livro recorda a brutalidade das ditaduras e das pris玫es pol铆ticas. Como algumas pessoas pagaram caro a defesa das suas ideias! Pagaram com a vida, perderam pessoas amadas, perderam-se simplesmente. Choca-me sempre verificar como a liberdade, que damos por t茫o garantida, um direito inalien谩vel, foi e 茅 ainda, em tantos lugares, um "artigo de luxo", com um pre莽o demasiado alto para os que a ambicionavam. Vivemos t茫o fechados e t茫o focados nas nossas lutas modernas que esquecemos a import芒ncia destes ideais e o que custaram a pessoas de carne e osso, como n贸s. Eu poderia ter sido Beatriz ou Graciela. Quem sabe se n茫o fui por um triz. Bom, essa seria outra hist贸ria. :)

Es lo primero que leo de este autor y me ha gustado bastante. En esta historia nos habla del exilio y de sus efectos en aquellos que lo viven. Conocemos a Santiago, exiliado de Uruguay y encarcelado como preso pol铆tico en los a帽os 70, y a su familia: su mujer Graciela, su hija Beatriz y su padre Don Rafael. Tambi茅n entra en la historia un antiguo amigo, "el duque". A todos ellos se le da voz a lo largo de la novela, los diferentes cap铆tulos no numerados est谩n centrados a veces en uno y a veces en otro, llev谩ndonos a su perspectiva y vivencias. Los cap铆tulos de Beatriz son una delicia...

Especialmente se centra en lo doloroso que es el exilio, el sentirte lejos de casa, obligado; lo dif铆cil de volver a sentirte en tu sitio en un lugar que no consideras propio... Se ve c贸mo afecta a la familia el hecho de que uno de sus miembros sea un preso pol铆tico y todo lo que tienen que pasar por dicho motivo: el cambio de residencia, el paso de los a帽os con el enfriamiento en la relaciones, el que todo cambie sin la presencia de ese miembro familiar e incluso el c贸mo ellos van cambiando personalmente (f铆sica y ps铆quicamente) por separado. Un hecho que tiene m煤ltiples consecuencias y no solo para el propio afectado, y lo m谩s triste es que todo se produce por pensar diferente a lo impuesto por el r茅gimen...

Tambi茅n se deja ver la dureza del trato a estos presos en ese contexto y momento hist贸rico/pol铆tico, y por lo que pasaron aquellos que les toc贸 vivir este periodo. Quiz谩s ah铆 es donde m谩s perdida estaba en ocasiones, no conoc铆a detalladamente esa parte pol铆tica de Uruguay en los a帽os 70, y a veces he estado algo perdida en esos asuntos y tambi茅n cuando nombra a ciertas figuras... Pero vaya, lo importante de la trama es el efecto de ese exilio y de ese encarcelamiento en el preso pol铆tico as铆 como en los de su alrededor, y eso se capta perfectamente.

Me ha gustado mucho, lo recomiendo.

Springtime with a broken mirror.

What is hope? How do we define love? How do we cope with change? Santiago has been jailed for political reasons. His wife Graciela, nine-year old daughter Beatriz, and his aging father Don Rafael have been exiled to Buenos Aires. Graciela becomes increasing isolated in her pain, while Beatriz and Rafael keep searching to define what is their new life. Graciela becomes infatuated by Santiago鈥檚 old friend Rolando. Tough things are tearing the family apart while Santiago is in jail. And Santiago can do nothing but suffer the pain of loss.

Under this bleak outline, each character鈥檚 story unfolds in separate chapters. Their pain, their resolution and their disparate views collide when a referendum happens. Hope creeps in as the dark novel unfolds.

Written entirely in exile, Mario Benedetti writes from the heart about the dictatorship鈥檚 effects on his native Uruguay. The title translates roughly to 鈥淪pringtime with a broken corner/mirror.鈥� This is a symbolic reference to the historic 鈥淣o鈥� vote on the ruling government on November 30, 1980 that brought down the government. Springtime had arrived in his country but a crack had allowed in something new.

One of the characters in this novel is Benedetti himself, who writes of his own exile and how he personally was affected. The message runs deep. The words are powerful, wise and very moving.

As adults we all can relate to pain and suffering. Exile is something far from my vocabulary. Uruguay, like so many Latin American countries in the last century have a certain personal reflection on this theme. But what amazes me is how personal Benedetti can be. Showing us how people are affected in such different ways. And through all of this is the message of hope.

It is best summed up by nine-year old Beatriz:

鈥淎mnesty is when one pardons the penitent. For example if I come home with dirty clothes, I will lose dessert for a week. But if I behave well and for three days in a row my arithmetic marks are excellent, I get amnesty and can have ice cream for dessert.鈥�

Now that I can relate to.

Absolutely Brilliant.

The essential thing is to adapt. I know it鈥檚 hard at my age. Almost impossible. And yet. After all, my exile is my exile. Not everyone has their own. They wanted to impose somebody else鈥檚 on me. No chance. I made it my own. How? That doesn鈥檛 really matter. It鈥檚 neither a secret nor a revelation. I鈥檇 say you have to start by taking charge of the streets. The corners. The sky. The caf茅s. The sun and, most important of all, the shade. It鈥檚 only when you start to realize that a street isn鈥檛 strange to you that it stops looking at you like a stranger. It鈥檚 the same with everything. When I first got here I used a walking stick, as perhaps befits someone aged sixty-seven. But it had nothing to do with my age. It was a sign of how disheartened I was. Back there I had always taken the same route home. And that was the thing I missed, being here. People don鈥檛 understand that sort of nostalgia. They think nostalgia has to do only with skies or trees or women. At best, with political activism. The home country, in short. But I have always felt a greyer, less well-defined nostalgia.
*
I spent today staring at the damp patches on the wall. It鈥檚 a habit I鈥檝e had since childhood. First I would imagine faces, animals, objects in the patches, then I鈥檇 turn them into things that caused me fear, even panic. So it鈥檚 good, now, to transform the stains into objects or faces and not feel afraid. But it also makes me somehow nostalgic for that distant time when my worst fears were self-inflicted, conjured out of ghostly patches on walls. The adult reasons, or maybe the adult excuses, for the fears we have now are no such phantoms. They are unbearably real. And yet we still sometimes supplement them with phantoms of our own invention, don鈥檛 you think?
*
Maybe I鈥檓 scared that if I let myself go, the result for me personally wouldn鈥檛 be better adjustment 鈥� it鈥檇 be a breakdown. I鈥檝e always had more than enough screws half-loose to want to risk an even greater collapse.
*
Exile (internal or external) is bound to be a key word for this decade 鈥�
*
There鈥檚 nothing to explain or be explained. There鈥檚 no need to pour your heart out.
*
I was being tyrannized by my memories. Then one evening, I thought, I鈥檓 going to free myself from this tyranny. And from that moment on, I鈥檝e been the one controlling my memories. Not completely, of course. There are always moments during the day (generally when I feel low or depressed) when they overwhelm me. But that鈥檚 not usually the case. What usually happens is: I plan my memory, that is, I take charge and choose what I鈥檓 going to remember. So I decide to recall, for example, a far-off day at primary school, or a night out with friends, or one of the interminable debates in the Union of Uruguayan University Students, or the swaying details (to the extent that those can, in fact, be remembered) of some of my rare boozy sprees, or a serious discussion with Dad, or the morning Beatriz was born. Of course I alternate all this with my memories of you, but I鈥檝e
decided to put those into some kind of order as well. Because if I don鈥檛, then all those images are focused on your body, on you and me making love. And that鈥檚 not always good for me. It becomes a painful reminder of your absence. Or of my absence. To start with, I feel an anguished mental pleasure. I enjoy myself in a vacuum. Then I grow depressed.
*
When you鈥檝e no choice but to stay in one place, you build up incredible mental agility. You can stretch out in the present as much as you like, or dizzily pitch yourself into the future, or you can slide into reverse: that鈥檚 dangerous, though, because it鈥檚 where your memories are, all of them: the good, the insignificant and the downright horrible. That鈥檚 where love is, in other words, where you are, darling, and where the great loyalties and great betrayals lie. That鈥檚 where you find what you could have done, but didn鈥檛 do, as well as what you could have not done, but did. The crossroads where you chose the wrong path. And that鈥檚 where the film begins; I mean, the story of how things would have been if you had turned and changed direction, taken another path, the one you rejected at the time. In general, after several reels you stop the projection and conclude that maybe the path you chose wasn鈥檛 such a mistake after all and that maybe, faced with the same crossroads, you鈥檇 choose the same one again.
*
We鈥檒l never again be what we were. Each of us will have to decide if we鈥檙e better or worse. Inside, and occasionally outside as well, we were in a storm, a hurricane passed over us and the calm we鈥檙e enjoying now contains uprooted trees, collapsed roofs, torn-off TV antennae, and rubble, lots of rubble. Obviously, we have to rebuild ourselves: to plant new trees, but maybe we won鈥檛 have the same shoots in our nurseries, the same seeds. It鈥檚 fine for us to build new houses, but is it a good idea for the architect only to faithfully reproduce the previous plan? Wouldn鈥檛 it be infinitely better for him to rethink the problem and draw a new plan, one that takes into account our current needs? To clear the rubble, as far as possible; because there will also be rubble that nobody can clear from their hearts or memory.

Si tuviera que definir este libro en pocas palabras, dir铆a que es una novela tremendamente humana.

El texto me atrap贸 desde su arranque. Es lo que tienen los grandes escritores. Nunca hab铆a le铆do a Benedetti, pero su calidad se nota nada m谩s empezar a leer. Es uno de esos textos que te atrapan, que te seducen, que te animan a leer, aunque parezca que en el fondo no te est茅 diciendo nada.

Efectivamente, en sus primeros cap铆tulos (todos muy cortitos; en realidad, el libro completo es tambi茅n muy cortito) uno no sabe muy bien de qu茅 va aquello. Cada cap铆tulo est谩 contado en primera persona por un personaje diferente que va narrando sus pensamientos y sus sentimientos. Al principio todo parece inconexo, cotidiano y sin avanzar hacia ning煤n lado. Luego, poco a poco, las historias cotidianas de cada uno te van atrapando. Y m谩s adelante, aparece la trama, el nudo de la historia, que te atrapa a煤n m谩s鈥� aunque incluso sin 茅l, las peque帽as historias y reflexiones vertidas a trav茅s de sus p谩ginas ya bastar铆an para considerarlo un buen libro.

Tenemos cinco protagonistas en esta historia: el encarcelado, el preso pol铆tico, el padre de familia que cumple condena en Uruguay simplemente por pensar de forma diferente a la que le gusta al r茅gimen. En el exilio (un pa铆s de Am茅rica Latina, que nunca sabremos cu谩l es) est谩n su mujer, su hija, su padre, y un amigo. Cada uno de ellos, de forma alterna, protagoniza un cap铆tulo. Y todos ellos est谩n afectados, de una forma u otra, por la situaci贸n de reclusi贸n del protagonista central de la historia.

En realidad, hay un sexto personaje, que tambi茅n protagoniza alg煤n que otro cap铆tulo, aunque pocos y sin una pauta de repetici贸n fija: el propio Benedetti, que en esos breves fragmentos nos cuenta algunas de sus propias experiencias como exiliado pol铆tico. Est谩 claro que sus propias vivencias, y probablemente tambi茅n las de personas pr贸ximas a 茅l, son las que le otorgan tanta profundidad, tanta alma, a este libro.

Y es que el encarcelamiento del personaje principal les afecta a todos. A la hija, que apenas recuerda a su padre y que no entiende por qu茅 est谩 en la c谩rcel si no hizo nada malo; y que, viviendo con el estigma de 鈥渆xiliada鈥�, se pregunta cu谩l es su pa铆s: 驴ese en el que naci贸 y que en realidad no recuerda, o este otro en el que vive pero en el que no llega a sentirse integrada? Con s贸lo 9 a帽os, sus reflexiones inocentes, a menudo divertidas, a veces amargas, nos recuerdan que incluso los m谩s peque帽os terminan pagando las consecuencias de la represi贸n pol铆tica.

El padre, por su parte, se siente culpable. Culpable por estar libre mientras su hijo est谩 preso. Impotente, exiliado tambi茅n, ayudando como puede, e intentando tambi茅n rehacer su propia vida.

La esposa, sufriendo doble, triplemente: por su hija, que crece sin padre; por su marido, injustamente encarcelado y torturado; por ella, sola en la plenitud de su vida; y por el remordimiento que le produce sentir que en realidad, poco a poco y sin querer, la separaci贸n est谩 provocando que desaparezca el amor que deber铆a sentir hacia su marido.

El amigo, el compa帽ero, el que tambi茅n podr铆a estar en la c谩rcel pero se libr贸; el eterno donju谩n, que, mientras ayuda a la madre y a la hija, se insin煤a bromeando, en ese eterno papel de lig贸n en el que todos le reconocen, sin pensar que alguien pueda llegar a tomarle en serio鈥�

Y, por supuesto, el centro de la historia: el hombre encerrado, que vive largos a帽os en soledad, con la eterna esperanza de salir alg煤n d铆a, de volver a la vida, de volver con los seres amados鈥�

De forma sencilla, cotidiana, cercana, cada uno de estos personajes nos va mostrando su forma de vivir esta historia, sus esperanzas y sus miedos, sus preocupaciones y sus ilusiones, sus alegr铆as y sus penas鈥� Sin darnos cuenta, entendemos c贸mo el exilio y la represi贸n pol铆tica pueden condicionar tanto la vida de tanta gente.

Y, pese a todo鈥� la vida sigue. En el fondo, predomina la esperanza. Predomina el ansia de vivir, de olvidar los malos ratos, de rehacer las vidas. El ansia de vivir domina, y pugna por renacer de sus cenizas, de iniciar una nueva primavera. Con una esquina rota, s铆鈥� pero primavera al fin y al cabo.

Un libro precioso. Cotidiano, humano, enga帽osamente sencillo鈥� La vida misma.

This book...it touched me deep inside. I even had goose bumps. Don't know what to say right now. Except that it was wonderful.
+ Update:

--ESP--
Mario Benedetti escribi贸 esta obra, publicada en 1982, en su madurez. En esta 茅poca resid铆a en Espa帽a como consecuencia del golpe de estado en Uruguay de 1973, hecho trascendental para comprender esta novela (curiosamente, se le permiti贸 regresar a Uruguay en 1983).

Benedetti consigue transmitir la claustrofobia de la celda del preso pol铆tico, pero tambi茅n de la libertad del exiliado pol铆tico a la perfecci贸n. La confusi贸n, la desorientaci贸n, la frustraci贸n y la impotencia que sienten quienes pasan por esta situaci贸n queda plasmada en la novela, que muestra una ventana a este invierno de sus vidas, del que incluso aunque puedan salir, no ser谩 para encontrarse con una primavera intacta, sino con una primavera con una esquina rota.

La historia se relata a trav茅s de 5 voces, todas ellas marcadamente distintas: el preso pol铆tico (culto e idealista), su padre (sabio y con esa calma y perspectiva que solo puede aportar la edad), su hija (una ni帽a, la inocencia pero sin tener un pelo de tonta), su mujer (personaje complejo, o quiz谩 no tanto), y una persona amiga de este c铆rculo familiar. No obstante, estas voces narradoras que se van alternando en breves cap铆tulos se entrelazan con an茅cdotas y recuerdos sobre el exilio del propio Benedetti, intercalados inteligentemente entre las voces de sus personajes. Estos pasajes llevan como t铆tulo EXILIOS, y resultaron muy interesantes.

Exilio (Invitaci贸n formal): "M谩s o menos a las 6 p.m. del viernes 22 de agosto de 1975, estaba leyendo, sin ninguna preocupaci贸n a la vista, (...), cuando abajo alguien toc贸 el timbre y pregunt贸 por el se帽or Mario Orlando Benedetti. Eso ya me oli贸 mal, pues el segundo nombre s贸lo figura en mi documentaci贸n y nadie entre mis amigos me llama as铆."

Me ha sorprendido lo bien que dibuja al personaje de la ni帽a, Beatriz, quien adem谩s explora conceptos que le son nuevos y que oye de la vida adulta, y sobre los cuales reflexiona. Mi ejemplo preferido es la amnist铆a:

"Tambi茅n el otro d铆a vi por la tele una corrida de toros que es como un estadio donde un se帽or juega con un mantel colorado y un toro que se hace el furioso pero es buen铆simo, y despu茅s de much铆simas horas de estar jugando el hombre se aburri贸 y dijo no quiero jugar m谩s con ese bicho que se hace el furioso pero el toro quer铆a seguir jugando y entonces fue el hombre quien se puso furioso y como era muy necio le clav贸 aqu铆 en la nuca una espada largu铆sima y el toro que ya estaba a punto de pedir la amnist铆a mir贸 al se帽or con unos ojos muy pero muy tristes y despu茅s se desmay贸 en mitad de la cancha sin que nadie le diera la amnist铆a, y a m铆 me dio tanta l谩stima que me sali贸 un suspiro finito finito, y esa noche so帽茅 que yo acariciaba al toro y le dec铆a chicho chicho igual que le digo a Sarcasmo el perro de Ang茅lica y 茅l mueve la cola content铆simo, pero en el sue帽o el toro no la mov铆a porque segu铆a desmayado en mitad de la cancha y yo le daba la amnist铆a pero en sue帽os no vale."

Aunque quiz谩, el personaje que m谩s me lleg贸 con sus palabras fue el propio preso, en torno al cual giran todos los dem谩s.

En general, se have evidente no s贸lo la maestr铆a de Benedetti con las palabras (y como combina un lenguaje m谩s culto con un lenguaje informal, empleando tambi茅n formas de hablar uruguayas), sino su propio talento como poeta, con pasajes como este:

"(...)la palabra lealtad, lealtad al amigo sol铆simo en un calabozo que aunque estuviera limpio siempre ser铆a inmundo, lealtad a un pasado pesado y pisado y a una moral no articulada pero vigente y largu铆simas discusiones hasta el alba en las que siempre estaba Silvio que ya no est谩 y estaba Manolo que ahora es t茅cnico electr贸nico en Gotemburgo, y las esposas semimarginadas por el machismo-leninismo de los ilustres varones pero participando a veces con objeciones obvias y m谩s que nada preparando ensaladas churrascos 帽oquis empanadas milanesas dulce de leche y despu茅s lavando platos mientras ellos sesteaban a gamba suelta."

Una lectura muy recomendable, que sin buscar en ning煤n momento l谩grimas ni emotividad gratuita, me ha puesto la piel de gallina. Me ha encantado.

Primavera con una esquina rota confirmou o que j谩 era uma verdade incontorn谩vel 鈥� tendo lido apenas duas das suas obras, Mario Benedetti entra definitivamente para a categoria dos meus autores favoritos.
A explos茫o de emo莽玫es que havia saboreado com a leitura de A tr茅gua voltou a avassalar-me e eu n茫o ofereci resist锚ncia alguma. Como poderia faz锚-lo perante uma obra a que dei o tratamento especial que apenas dou 脿quelas que me fazem mais e mais render-me incondicionalmente 脿 leitura?
Li Primavera con una esquina rota devagarinho, saboreando cada p谩gina, sublinhando cada detalhe, cada pormenor, acariciando a sua lombada, encostando-o ao peito, enfim, dediquei-lhe a aten莽茫o e o carinho que dedico a tudo e a todos que d茫o aquele significado 脿 minha vida, que me preenchem e me fazem mais feliz. Livros como este de Benedetti s茫o as minhas joias.
Mal o abri, deparei-me com uma surpresa que me fez duvidar do que estava a ler, porque n茫o estava nada 脿 espera de ver a minha l铆ngua numa obra uruguaia:
鈥淪e soubesse que amanh茫 morria
E a primavera era depois de amanh茫,
Morreria contente, porque ela era depois de amanh茫.鈥�

PRIMAVERA CON UNA ESQUINA ROTA (first published in 1982) is a short, moving novel about a family torn apart by political exile.

Santiago is imprisoned in Uruguay because of his political activism. He writes long letters to Graciela, his wife. Graciela, and their 9-year-old daughter, Beatriz, have lived in exile for the past five years. His letters express his loneliness, the pain of separation from his family and hope. He doesn't know when he will be released but he desperately clings to cherished memories of their years of married life, and yearns for the moment when they will be reunited. Graciela feels differently. She has changed, and while she still feels respect for Santiago, she finds that she really doesn't need him anymore. However, her letters do not reveal that she has drifted out of love. Nor that she seems to have fallen in love with his best friend.

Translated into English as SPRINGTIME IN A BROKEN MIRROR, Benedetti's novel explores the devastating scars that political activism leave on the lives of individuals and the ways in which family bonds are inevitably broken forever. Written by Mario Benedetti, a renowned Uruguayan journalist, novelist and poet while he was in exile, PRIMAVERA CON UNA ESQUINA ROTA is a heartfelt story of the consequences of political upheaval.

I read this book in English(Penguin Classics, translated by Nick Caistor).

Mario Benedetti writes of exile which becomes an exile from one's life and identity these being so inextricably linked to one's original home with its geography, language, culture and particular quirks.
The narrative is beautifully written in several voices: Santiago, imprisoned for his political activities during the military dictatorship in Uruguay, his wife, Graciela, living in exile in Argentina, their young daughter Beatriz, with a very prominent voice of her own, and additional characters, each with its own narrative and outlook. Interspersed in these are excerpts written in the first person by Mario Benedetti, himself exiled from Uruguay during the dictatorship.
These compelling voices harmoniously coalesce into a riveting story of the irreparable damage of being torn out of your life. And yet, this is not a story of heroism and revolution, nor is it a political manifesto; it is the story of people, of humanity, of its good and evil, and of its ambiguity. Benedetti subtly and intricately weaves these narratives, as well as his own, into a story of loss, but also of life and its inherent power to move forward.

i feel happy, and yet i'm not happy. i never imagined that to feel happy would contain so much sadness.
no less than six different publishers have brought mario benedetti's work (novels, short stories, poetry, drama) into english translation, yet the late uruguayan author still has not found even a fraction of the stateside audience (nor acclaim) his writing so clearly deserves. published in its original spanish in 1982, years after benedetti himself was forced to flee his homeland, springtime in a broken mirror (primavera con una esquina rota) is a polyphonic novel of political and personal exile.
human beings are strange creatures when condemned to their own solitude, or when punishment consists in bringing them face to face with the loneliness of one, two or three of their fellows, when none of them ever chose to be in such close proximity. i don't believe (not even after these recent harsh years) what that gloomy existentialist said about hell being other people, but i will admit that often other people are not exactly heaven.
benedetti wrote with an abundant humanity, with a generosity of spirit and a resounding empathy. springtime in a broken mirror is an arresting novel laying bare the ongoing toll of political strife on families and loved ones. benedetti's characters struggle with loss and longing, each tortured in their own way and bearing the residual scars of national turmoil and its inevitably messy aftermath.

in a just world, benedetti would be as beloved and revered among english-speaking audiences as he is throughout latin america. in a world more just than that, such a poignant, heartrending work of fiction wouldn't even be necessary in the first place.
obviously, once this is over, when it's all done with and you become conscious of having survived it all, you must be left with a crumb of dignity, but also a permanent deposit of rancour. which will never go away, even if the future brings you security, trust, love and a safe path forward. a deposit of rancour that can rot and spread and even contaminate that trust and love, that onward path, all of which could intertwine with more than one individual future. in other words, those ruthless jailers, those experts in cruelty, those loathsome cannibals, those hierophants of the sacred order of the trap, are guilty not only in the present; their guilt will carry far into the future. not only are they responsible for every single iniquity, or for the sum of those iniquities; they are responsible, also, for having undermined the time honoured foundations of a solid society. when they torture a person, kill him or not, they are also tormenting (even though they don't lock them up, even if they just leave them defenceless and bewildered in their ravaged homes) that person's wife, his parents, his children, damaging all of their relationships. when they crush a revolutionary (as in the case of santiago) and force his family into exile, they tear time to shreds; distorting the history of that branch of the tree, that small clan. to regroup in exile is not, as is so often said, to wipe the slate clean, to start the count again from zero. you start from minus four, or minus twenty, or minus a hundred.

Mario Benedetti, K谋r谋k K枚艧eli 陌lkbahar'da, 70'li y谋llarda Uruguay'da ger莽ekle艧mi艧 olan askeri darbenin ard谋ndan ya艧ananlar谋 ele almaktad谋r. Santiago, darbeden sonra tutuklanm谋艧 ve 5 y谋l hapis cezas谋 alm谋艧t谋r. Santiago "i莽eride" g眉莽l眉 kalman谋n yollar谋n谋 ararken, Santiago'nun e艧i Graciela, k谋z谋 Beatriz ve babas谋 Don Rafael ise "d谋艧ar谋da" g眉莽l眉 kalman谋n, hayata tutunman谋n yollar谋n谋 aramaktad谋rlar.

脟eviri ve redaksiyon biraz s谋k谋nt谋l谋 geldi bana. Baz谋 c眉mleleri anlamakta ger莽ekten zorland谋m ve kitap boyunca bir 莽ok yaz谋m hatas谋yla kar艧谋la艧t谋m. Umar谋m bu kitab谋n bundan sonra daha dikkatli ve 枚zenli bir bask谋s谋 yay谋nlan谋r.

Art谋k Montevideo'yu ve tand谋k ev yolunu 枚zlemiyordum. Yeni bir 艧ehirde yeni yollar vard谋. Bir ama莽 i莽in se莽ilen yol, ma臒lubiyetten gelir biliyorum. Bizim ma臒lubiyetimiz toplamda olmayacak ama yine de ma臒lubiyet. Art谋k bunu anlam谋艧t谋m fakat ilk dersi verdi臒imde tam olarak bunu teyit etmi艧tim.
脰臒renci aya臒a kalkt谋 ve benden, soru sormak i莽in izin istedi. Sonra da sordu:
"脰臒retmenim, hangi nedenden dolay谋 liberal demokrasinin bu kadar oturmu艧 oldu臒u bir 眉lke 莽abucak askeri diktat枚rl眉臒e ge莽ti?"
Ondan, bana 枚臒retmenim dememesini istedim. Bu bizim al谋艧谋k oldu臒umuz bir 艧ey de臒ildi. Ondan sadece cevab谋 d眉zenlemesini istedim. Bilineni s枚yledim:
"Geli艧me 莽ok 枚nce ba艧lad谋, sakin de臒il, sakinli臒in de alt谋nda." Sf:15

Geri d枚nd眉m Doktor Siles't谋. O da beni tan谋d谋.
"Size de s眉rg眉nl眉k k谋smet olmu艧."
"Evet, doktor. Montevideo'da konu艧tu臒umuz zaman, bu neredeyse imkans谋z gibiydi de臒il mi?"
"Evet, imkans谋z gibiydi."
Alacakaranl谋kta o g眉l眉msemesini se莽emiyordum ama 枚yle oldu臒unu tahmin ediyordum. "Bu beklenmedik s眉rg眉n眉n眉zde siz 艧imdi hangi etaptas谋n谋z?"
Biraz utan莽la cevap verdim: "脺莽 numara."
"O zaman 莽ok 谋st谋rap vermiyordur. Ben on d枚rd眉nc眉de devam ediyorum."
O gece Proust'tan konu艧mad谋k. Sf: 73-74

Yasaklarla dolu, 艧imdilerde de臒i艧en bu 眉lkeye, bir g眉n geri d枚nersem al谋艧abilece臒imden de pek emin de臒ilim. Evet, muhtemelen s眉rg眉ns眉zl眉k de s眉rg眉n kadar ac谋d谋r. Yeni toplum ne benim gibi emekli askerlerle ne de Rolando ya da Graciela gibi olgun gen莽lerle ayakta olacakt谋r. Bizler hayatta kalanlar谋z, do臒ru ama ayn谋 zamanda yaral谋 ve bereliyiz. Onlar ve bizler. O zaman, torunum gibi bug眉n眉n 莽ocuklar谋yla m谋 ayakta kalacakt谋r? Bilmiyorum, bilmiyorum. Belki bu sarka莽 ve kendine has vatan谋n yap谋c谋lar谋 y枚neticileri hala 眉lkede devam eden bug眉n眉n 莽ocuklar谋d谋r. Bu 莽ocuklar Oslo'nun karl谋 retinas谋ndan, Akdeniz'in g眉nbat谋m谋ndan, Teotihuakan'谋n piramitlerinden, Via Appia'n谋n d枚rt tekerleklerinden, 陌sve莽 k谋艧谋n谋n siyah g枚ky眉z眉nden getirilmeyecektir. Ya da Alameda'n谋n dilenci 莽ocuklar谋n谋n hat谋ralar谋ndan, Quartier Latin'in eroinmanlar谋ndan, Karakas'谋n t眉ketici sarho艧lar谋ndan, Madrid'in darbeci yarbay谋 Tejerazo'dan ya da mucizevi Nazi Almanyas谋'n谋n isyanc谋lar谋ndan getirilmeyecektir. En 莽ok yard谋m edebilirler, 枚臒renileni iletebilirler, 枚臒renilmeyeni sorabilirler, m眉cadele etmeye ve uyum sa臒lamaya 莽al谋艧abilirler. Gelece臒in 眉lkesi i莽in 枚zg眉rl眉臒眉 zorlayacak olanlar 莽ocukluktan beri babalar谋n谋n, amcalar谋n谋n bazen de annelerinin hatta b眉y眉kbabalar谋n谋n g枚t眉r眉ld眉klerini g枚ren ve onlar谋n d枚nd眉klerini 莽ok sonra bilen ama sert 莽at谋艧malar谋n iyi taraf谋n谋 da g枚rm眉艧 olan bir nesildir. Onlar a臒layanlar谋 g枚rd眉ler, ayn谋 zamanda a莽man谋n yasak oldu臒u tabutlar谋n yan谋nda kendileri de a臒lad谋. Sonra da k枚艧elerdeki g眉rleyen sessizli臒in nas谋l geldi臒ini g枚rd眉ler ve sa莽lardaki sohbetlerdeki makaslar谋, evet 枚yle, unutulmayan谋 unutturmak i莽in 莽ok fazla rock ve farkl谋 m眉zikler dinlediler. Nas谋l ya ne zaman bilmiyorum ama bug眉n眉n o 莽ocuklar谋 ger莽ek bir vatan谋n 枚nc眉leri olacaklard谋r. Peki bizler, emekli milisler? Gaydalar谋n s枚yledi臒i gibi biz eskiler? Hala berrak devam ediyorsak, hala ayaktaysak, biz eskiler onlar谋n g枚rd眉klerini hat谋rlamalar谋na yard谋mc谋 olaca臒谋z. Ve tabii g枚rmediklerini de. Sf: 87-88

Sf 115-121: Santiago'nun babas谋na yazd谋臒谋 mektup.

Sf 147-149: David Canpora'n谋n s枚zleri.

Be艧 y谋l boyunca en fazla tahrik edici 艧ey g眉ne艧ti. (...) Benim i莽in tanr谋n谋n varl谋臒谋n谋n tek kan谋t谋 Graciela'n谋n bacaklar谋d谋r. Sf:188

En principio me sent铆a perdida pero (Quiz谩 por desconocer el contexto), apenas avanc茅 un poco logr茅 engancharme y una vez m谩s Benedetti se me meti贸 hasta el tu茅tano.

Un libro que claramente lleva una carga de cr铆tica social, pero m谩s all谩 de eso se centra en las relaciones humanas; en las lesiones que llevan aquellos que sufren del exilio as铆, como tambi茅n, los seres queridos.

La narrativa tan agradable como es usual. Los cap铆tulos desde la perspectiva de 5 personajes y esos colados de relatos del autor, me parecieron de interesantes.

Los cap铆tulos de la ni帽a (Beatriz) y el padre (Don Rafael) fueron los que m谩s disfrut茅, imposible no compadecerme de Santiago y Graciela. Qu茅 ganas de darle un abrazo a 茅l, y prestarle un o铆do a ella.

Ese final abierto, no pudo ser mejor. As铆 Benedetti me da la libertad de darle el final feliz que quiero que tenga la historia, aunque en el fondo s茅 que es lo contrario.

Benedetti tem uma escrita encantadora e consegue formar vozes com muita personalidade e pot锚ncia. Gosto como ele consegue dar espa莽o a todos os envolvidos, garantindo uma clareza de ponto de vista e opini茫o. E mesmo sendo essas pessoas t茫o diferentes, existe um pesar comum no discurso de todas elas. At茅 mesmo no da crian莽a, que mesmo sendo ing锚nuo tem uma carga forte de sentimento, dor, aus锚ncia, incompreens茫o e 芒nsia por uma solu莽茫o. 脡 um livro que diz muito do nosso contexto pol铆tico no Brasil. Acho que de certa forma vivemos todos exilados em algum n铆vel atualmente. Ser茫o anos movimentados os que est茫o por vir... l谩 fora nas ruas e aqui dentro de cada um de n贸s tamb茅m. Como estaremos ao final disso tudo 茅 o que falta saber. Um excelente livro o de Benedetti. :)
