From That invent! To Death to intelligence! "
Some characters, and many writers among them, have had and have a special fondness towards private and public controversy , so that many times, thinking about them, rather than in his works spring to mind this and that in fact involved. As an example current and near, the author Arturo Perez Reverte Cartagena is one of the current best-selling English writers, which has been repeated for two decades. However, to be referred to a conversation among friends or acquaintances, most of the time will come to the fore more than just books and reviews on them. The pungency of his opinion pieces in the press is a recurring theme for over a decade now, with web 2.0 in full swing, manifestations included in real time on the network will also figure prominently in talks Byzantine , discussions poultry and low-class gatherings. Who may be interested in that one (another one) of his novels is to be made into a film or television if it really interesting is to talk about his latest statements on Twitter , for example? I recognize that much more shocking see a best-selling author and member of the Academy cross of "girl" to outgoing Minister read and discuss their work.
But Pérez Reverte and many other controversial writers (for his life, not for his work) of our time such as Sanchez Drago can be considered as mere fans of what, in a parody of the hippie movement 60's, the cartoon character Homer Simpson (Homer Simpson for our American readers) summarized notably in the phrase "Let a shock! "is indeed difficult to achieve the ends to which one of our writers was more universal, the Biscay Miguel de Unamuno , sometimes rivals that known and influential. Two of those rivals dialectical Unamuno were precisely Madrid philosopher Jose Ortega y Gasset and military Coruña José Millán-Astray . Little can be said of both if we want to expand, so we could, summarizing much to say that every one in your area, we are talking about characters rather than remarkable.
Unamuno and the relationship between these two characters can be minimized using two phrases that have passed into history on the respective disagreements. The " That invent! ", which was never said so, came to be seen (still is) as a prototype of Spain stale and outside Europe with which it was identified Unamuno, as opposed to the views of Ortega y Gasset and other intellectuals of the time: that the only way for Spain to stop the writer from Bilbao was hurt, simplifying a lot, Europeanizing English manners and customs. But Unamuno do not know whether pragmatically or simple and plain stubbornness, spend the rest of his life caught between feelings, so much so that after the uprising of the national troops in 1936, and despite his Republican past (it was he who proclaimed the Republic in Salamanca, true), did not hesitate to write a manifesto for the rebels of that later, after attending the excesses of the new government and do away with his good friends, repent in part. Just then came the encounter with Millán-Astray , in Salamanca occupied by Franco's forces after a fiery speech by Professor Francisco Maldonado in the auditorium of the University. The famous "Death intelligence! "is also, like the last sentence quoted, apocryphal, really Millán-Astray, burnt by the words of Unamuno (who had not hesitated to call it invalid and to affirm that while Cervantes was also the similarities ended there, basically) what he said was "Death to intellectuals traitor! "a phrase that due to the uproar in the room became popular and deformed. Unamuno out of there alive thanks to the intervention of the wife of General Francisco Franco , but its days were ready to finish. Indeed, his last words in the auditorium was almost his final statements controversial, and have gone down in history as a lucid argument and scream in horror at the future and sensed for Spain:

This is the temple of intelligence, and I am its high priest. You are profaning its sacred precincts. Will overcome, because you have more than enough brute force. But do not be convinced. To convince is to persuade, and to persuade will need something you lack: reason and right in the struggle. It seems useless to ask you to think in Spain. I said."
