Fernando Fernan Gomez

liked that text entitled

The Surrender of Breda

and the writer

Arturo Perez-Reverte

published in 1992 in the supplement

XL Semanal

, of which is a

regular contributor for more than two decades.

He put the page in a folder and there it was.

Years later, it appeared in the volume dedicated to the theater in the complete works of the author of

The bikes are for the summer

, published by the Galaxia Gutenberg publishing house in 2019 and prepared by his granddaughter, Helena de Llanos.

The text, also compiled in a volume entitled

Obra breve

published in 1995 by Alfaguara with texts by Pérez-Reverte,

was staged

a few years ago by the actor Juan Diego, who performed a version of the piece at the Spanish Theater.

José Sacristán, a little later, became interested but no project came to fruition.

Last week the Prado Museum presented, with the title of

Soldier

, the proposal of the actor

Daniel Ortiz

, who recited the article turned into a monologue in front of the painting of

Las Lanzas

de Velázquez.

Six representations have already been made, attributing authorship to Fernán-Gómez, until someone has noticed that there was an error.

The author is Arturo Pérez-Reverte.

"I don't see bad faith,"

says the author of

Line of Fire

.

"With Fernán-Gómez I maintained a relationship of mutual respect since he entered the Royal Spanish Academy in 2000.

I imagine that he kept the page of the article

among his papers and someone, when ordering them after he had died, considered that It was his text. It has no more importance. The director of the Prado apologized yesterday in a call and this matter for me is settled ".

The Prado Museum has communicated that it suspends the performances permanently.
