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.
