time passes and we're getting old is something we already knew, without even tremble when they hear the terrible prediction to hear the beautiful duet between Pablo Milanes and Mercedes Sosa. Something we already knew but had to recognize and without any room for unfair and complex sets Peter Pan when the markets, those of the black hand that we are sinking, they realized that we were ready for the nostalgia.
I do not know how it all started, perhaps with the announcement of Coca Cola which praised generation who were teenagers in the 80 and reminded us of the lye-washed jeans, shoulder pads, a passion for Eurovision, vinyl records and flight attendants impossible glasses of one, two, three.
But a few weeks ago I returned to run into the past in the stands, in a recovery that does Planeta-Agostini of that legendary collection, Youth Literary Jewels, in which we read so much, learned so much, so we dream. This collection will still have a good hundred booklets in the attic or cellar Reinosa Santander and I was offering pesetas for fifteen, twenty, setentaycinco a little later, much of the more notorious titles the literature of adventure, science fiction, the realistic side of good novels and even the odd nod to the environment righteousness. A generation of illustrators splendid were recreating us anonymously (although it is difficult to track talent like Victor Mora and his unmistakable style) evidence of Dickens, Karl May, and Salgari Verne, Poe. "Heart" and "Little Women" with "Tom Sawyer" and "Gulliver's Travels" were being piled up after that emotional blackmail those subjected to Aunt Chavita (honeyed voice, and affectionate child Pegaditas pulling skirts generous coat of the woman as she whispered "Chaviiiiiiii, buy me a cuentoooooo ") to bring us together at the kiosk and suffer the torture of selecting only one of the exposed and anticipating what the blackmail elected the following day.
I have always continued to read, although there is some haze that prevents me from remembering exactly what I read on your classic version of the Literary Jewels and which came complete. But there were, there they are, "Ivanhoe" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth", "A Connecticut Yankee in King's court Arthur "and" The Last Days of Pompeii "," A Tale of Two Cities "and" Uncle Tom's Cabin. "
re not into temptation, of course, they sing Enrique Urquijo, back to being a child?
