Synopsis "Una Historia: Dos Relatos (in Spanish)"

Durante un viaje de Budapest a Viena, el protagonista es iterrogado por un agente de aduanas, que le somete a las preguntas burocráticas y fiscales con las que los representantes de la autoridad hacen valer su fuerza y su poder con el único fin de que el individuo se sienta indefenso, acaso humillado. Expediente, el realto de Imre Kertész, le vino a la memoria al también escritor Peter Esterházy, cuando él mismo se vio involucrado en una situación similar en un viaje a Viena invitado por sus editores. Esterházy decidió entonces escribir Vida y literatura, su propia versión de esa anécdota, aparentemente banal, pero que recuerda la insistente persistencia de las huellas de tiempos peores. Ambos relatos, nacidos de la pluma de dos grandes autores de la literatura europea, han sido reunidos en un solo volumen, Una historia: dos relatos, que ofrece una cáustica visión de un mundo que se niega a desaparecer.

Imre Kertész (Budapest, 1929–2016) was a Hungarian writer of Jewish origin, known for his deep literary exploration of the Holocaust and totalitarian regimes. At the age of 14, he was deported to Auschwitz and later to Buchenwald, experiences that marked his work. After the war, he worked as a journalist and translator before fully dedicating himself to writing. In 2002, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature for a work that preserves the fragile experience of the individual against the barbaric arbitrariness of history.

Among his most notable works are Fatelessness (1975), Fiasco (1988), Kaddish for an Unborn Child (1990), and Liquidation (2003). These novels address themes such as identity, memory, and individual freedom in oppressive contexts. His literary style is characterized by precise and reflective prose, which invites deep introspection on the human condition.
