Historia grotesca y pat\u00e9tica de un joven evangelista sure\u00f1o, cuyo horror al pecado le lleva a predicar la Iglesia sin Cristo, esta impresionante novela de Flannery O\u2019Connor relata, al propio tiempo, la tragedia de un creyente fan\u00e1tico incapaz de librarse de su obsesi\u00f3n religiosa. Concebida, seg\u00fan declaraci\u00f3n expresa de la autora, como la novela c\u00f3mica de un cristiano a pesar suyo, para el cual la fe en Cristo es una cuesti\u00f3n de vida o muerte, esta obra subyugante y extra\u00f1a responde a un prop\u00f3sito de doble filo. Por una parte, como cuadro sociol\u00f3gico, es una s\u00e1tira del primitivismo religioso, de ra\u00edz b\u00edblica y protestante, en el Sur de los Estados Unidos. Por otra, como problema teol\u00f3gico, es el drama del nihilismo espiritual y de la angustia moral de un visionario fan\u00e1tico que quiere negar a Dios sin conseguirlo. Impulsado por una rebeld\u00eda instintiva contra la idea de la ca\u00edda y la redenci\u00f3n del g\u00e9nero humano, deseoso de excluir de su conciencia atormentada el problema de la propia salvaci\u00f3n, el protagonista, Hazel Motes, cree que la \u00fanica forma de librarse de la culpa y el pecado es librarse de Cristo. De ah\u00ed la pasi\u00f3n desesperada con que predica los principios de la Iglesia sin Cristo, seg\u00fan los cuales el hombre est\u00e1 limpio de pecado original y, en consecuencia, no tuvo necesidad de ser redimido. Profeta alucinado de una nueva fe, que habr\u00e1 de proporcionar a todos la pureza de alma y la tranquilidad de conciencia que nos habr\u00eda arrebatado la muerte de Cristo, este incr\u00e9dulo incapaz de librarse del sentimiento del pecado es, en el fondo, un m\u00e1rtir de su ciega creencia en el libre albedr\u00edo. Fruto de un humor atormentado y sombr\u00edo, traspasado por un aliento po\u00e9tico alucinante y sobrecogedor, Flannery O\u2019Connor nos ofrece en esta obra magistral una visi\u00f3n nueva e in\u00e9dita del esp\u00edritu primitivo y salvaje de su tierra nativa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
