About the Book

En esta novela, Enrique Ojembarrena construye, a través del itinerario de una figura cumbre del toreo, una novela polifacética que encuadra tantos los usos y costumbres de la época, las preocupaciones políticas y las societarias, junto con la relación estrecha que en la sociedad española ha tenido lugar frecuentemente entre la intelectualidad y la aristocracia y el toreo. Pero otras satisfacciones le esperan al simple lector sea aficionado o no. Y ello producido por la especial escritura que usa Ojembarrena, una manera de novelar ágil y amena, hermosamente bella en la prosa, animadas las escenas por puntuales y ajustadas expresiones pertenecientes no sólo al léxico taurino sino también derivadas de un amplio conocimiento del tema y del ambiente todo; bien de la lidia, de los animales y del campo en general. La historia que nos cuenta se convierte en paladeo verbal con una prosa de altísima calidad. "Dinos tres libros de toros que valgan un mundo... Sólo dos entendiendo como libro, novela de creación, aunque no valgan un mundo que es mucho valer: Juan Belmonte, matador de toros, de Chaves Nogales, y uno reciente, Guerrita, de Enrique Ojembarrena." (Entrevista al crítico taurino Paco Apaulaza en Las palabras del toro de José Luis Merino). "Centrándonos de lleno en esta novela -que además de taurina, esencialmente también es histórica-, lo primero que nos seduce es su lenguaje plástico y sensual, colorista y poético. El autor nos muestra con gran naturalidad la atmósfera de una época ya desvaída, el ambiente fin de siglo de Madrid, de Córdoba y de Sevilla. Las pinceladas taurinas que cruzan y empapan el libro están llenas de sensibilidad y encanto; el autor sabe captar la atención del lector e introducirlo en la historia sin truco alguno; sólo mediante un leguaje sugerente y una serie de episodios muy bien trazados. Hay páginas realmente inolvidables, coloristas y hermosas. Guerrita es una novela densa y romántica. Un buen libro que ha de ser gustado a sorbos lentos." (Alejando López Andrada. Cuadernos del Sur, 19-1-1995). "Cher Enrique Ojembarrena, Merçi pour Guerrita. J'aime les taureaux et les Toreros -ça ne s'exclue pas, ça s'augmente. Bien à vous. Ernst Jünger." (3, X, 1994).
