The Cantabrian writer Álvaro Pombo has received the Cervantes award at the traditional ceremony in the Paraninfo of the University of Alcalá de Henares, chaired by the kings, with a speech read by his friend and writer Mario Crespo-due to his “delicate” health-in which he has referenced Miguel de Cervantes on numerous occasions and has stressed that now “nobody” Not even the “tato”.
“A phenomenology of Cervantine fragility is the entire Empire of fragility. Is this not the absurd? The honor of Spain or that of the Tato.
The term ‘influencer’ has also appeared in the speech of Pombo to define the lady of Salamanca from ‘Mr. Vidriera’, by Miguel de Cervantes. Thus, he said that the protagonist, Tomas Rodaja, considered it an “impostor, ‘influencer’, a turulata”.
Pombo has received the medal and sculpture-this has collected Crespo-between smiles at the hands of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, who has approached him to show him love.
With his characteristic tone, the author of ‘Where women’ or ‘The quadrature of the circle’, has shown their own fragility through the fragility of Cervantes, from whom he highlighted his “good humor” and has pointed out that to achieve “greatness” in Spain we must reach the depth and “poverty.”
“We can say today that ‘God bless Cervantes’ and this is a religious, Christian invocation, for God and Cervantes himself depth and poverty, “he said.
Under the name of ‘The phenomenology of fragility’, Pombo’s speech has prolonged more than 10 minutes starting with gratitude-the award is described as the “highest literary and social honor” that has been granted to him-and confessing that he had already written the words “many years” in case he “fell from heaven” recognition.
“I feel highly recognized, accepted and admired much more than what I deserve. But above all I feel grateful and thinking that ‘omne datum bonum et omne donum perfectum of Sursum est descendens to Patre Luminum’ (from the epistle of Santiago: ‘All good gift and every perfect gift rises from the father of the lights’),” he said in the presence of the kings, of the Minister of Culture, and from the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso.
In addition, he has claimed the “Castilian labiegos” that have been the Pombo García de los Ríos, his family, and recalled that they were responsible for doing, in “very hard fifteen years of works”, the first exemplary agricultural exploitation of Spain, awarded by the Ministry of Agriculture, then under the command of Minister Azul Cavestany of Anduaga.
Later, reiterating that he had already thought about what speech he would give if he was ever in this situation, he explained that he always knew that he would mention ‘Mr. Vidriera’, about the “cheerful, handsome and applied” Tomás Rodaja, who “empathized with his contemporaries and those who his contemporaries” entertained “and” accommodated “because they seemed” promising. “
Cervantes at 70: “Achances of all kinds”
In his allusions to Miguel de Cervantes, Pombo has explained that the writer at 70, had “achaques of all kinds” and a chronic fatigue, but that reached the end with everything he had to write, written, and a relative and admirable good humor.
“Cervantes had perhaps, according to doctors, arteriosclerosis or liver cirrhosis or diabetes or heart failure. With all this on top, with seventy years, Don Miguel de Cervantes is reaching the end, has already written everything he had to write but is reaching the end with a relative and admirable good humor,” he said.
