Published by Editum, editions of the University of Murcia, next Tuesday, May 28, will be presented the book "The rules of the game of Arturo Pérez-Reverte", the Professor of Contemporary Spanish Literature at the University of Edinburgh Alexis Grohmann.

The presentation will be borne by the author, who will be accompanied by Arturo Pérez-Reverte himself, and José Belmonte Serrano, professor at the University of Murcia and co-director of the chair.

The activity will take place in the Culture Hall of Cajamurcia from 8pm.

Throughout its more than 300 pages, Grohmann studies the work of the first stage of the Cartagena writer "the most playful and fertile" - the one that centers between the years 1986 ("The hussar") and 2006 ("The painter of battles ").

For the author, "The literature of Pérez-Reverte is one of the most original and fascinating that has emerged in Spain since the re-start of the democratic period in the 70s," and his literature "seeks not only to entertain, but to deepen the condition human

The new publication published by the University of Murcia and focused on the work of Pérez-Reverte, is framed as a publication of the Arturo Pérez-Reverte Chair, dedicated to the study of Spanish and Latin American narrative, and especially the narrative and journalistic work of the author that gives name.

The work dedicates a chapter to each one of the eight novels published during the twenty years of the studied period, and tries to serve as a complete introduction to each work.

The author affirms that Perez-Reverte's literature is in permanent dialogue with literary sources, and expresses his conviction that the careful study of each novel "has allowed me, I believe, to extract the keys of each of them for a thorough interpretation, largely because I have not done anything but stick to myself and bring to light the interpretation that each Revertian novel already contains ".

Grohmann finally says that the literature of Pérez-Reverte reminds us that what seems relegated to the images of our childhood, can resist an adult analysis, and that, as claimed by the protagonist of "The Spherical Chart", there is always' a boat sunk, an island, a refuge, an adventure, a place somewhere on the other side of the sea, in the diffuse line that blends dreams with the horizon.
