Pamyat‘ — eto ty

Izuchat‘ istoriyu mozhno vsyu zhizn‘, no prozhit‘ ee — lish‘ raz. «Pamyat‘ — eto ty» — nezabyvaemoe puteshestvie po istorii Ispanii glazami yunogo katalonca, kotoryy v poiskah samogo sebya stanovitsya svidetelem znamenatel‘nyh sobytiy i izobreteniy, vstrechaet istoricheskih lichnostey i zagadochnyh prizrakov, zavodit druzey, vlyublyaetsya i prosto zhivet. V literaturnom debyute Al‘berta Bertrana Basa perepletayutsya real‘nye sobytiya i vymysel, sozdavaya nepovtorimuyu literaturnuyu panoramu v luchshih tradiciyah priklyuchencheskogo romana. «Imya moe — Gomer, i ya poteryal sem‘yu vo vremya voyny. V pyatnadcat‘ ya peshkom peresek Pirenei, otpravlyayas‘ v izgnanie. Ya vyros sirotoy na ulicah Barselony i kasalsya smerti v temnicah "Urugvaya". Ya pil s Hemingueem, privetstvoval Gitlera i zanimalsya lyubov‘yu v avtomobile Franko. Mne strelyali v spinu, i mne strelyali v serdce. YA zastavil pritihnut‘ kabare "Mel‘nica", menya celovala Prekrasnaya Dorita. Ya szhimal nozh Sidyashchego Byka. Ya byl tam, gde umiraet veter, i spal sredi uteryannyh sokrovishch. Odnazhdy menya rasstrelyali. Ya znaval geniev i vdohnovlyal nekotoryh iz nih. Ya pil dop‘yana, smeyalsya do slez, mechtal, voroval i ubival. I ya vlyublyalsya. Trizhdy. V odnu i tu zhe zhenshchinu. Vot moya istoriya. Vot moya odisseya».
