\u00a1Cu\u00e1nto he disfrutado con esta novela! \u00a1Da gusto leer a Benito P\u00e9rez Gald\u00f3s! En \u201cMiau\u201d penetra en la sociedad del Madrid burocr\u00e1tico de finales del S.XIX, carcomido por la corrupci\u00f3n pol\u00edtica, que agoniza en la familia de los Miau, presa de la decadencia social, la tr\u00e1gica espera de un puesto en un ministerio, las relaciones impostadas, las tensiones familiares, los amor\u00edos de post\u00edn y los anhelos de grandezas que nunca llegan.<\/p>\n
Gald\u00f3s no solo disecciona de maravilla la sociedad que vive y sufre, sino que lo hace con un lenguaje, unas descripciones, una narrativa y unos di\u00e1logos que da gusto leerle. Las reflexiones del sufrido Villaamil (\u201cfiel al sistema de esperar desesperando\u201d y \u201cencallecida la epidermis del amor propio\u201d), las conversaciones del ni\u00f1o Luisito con dios, las triqui\u00f1uelas sentimentaloides de V\u00edctor con Abelarda\u00a0 o los vodeviles teatrales con las amistades funcionariales, son dignas de menci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
En cuanto al cogollo en si de la novela (la tremenda corrupci\u00f3n que asola la administraci\u00f3n p\u00fablica) hay mucho que sacar. Os comparto aqu\u00ed tan solo algunas frases que me parecen memorables: \u201cel Estado es esencialmente ingrato\u201d; \u201cLa l\u00f3gica espa\u00f1ola no puede fallar. El pillo por delante del honrado; el ignorante encima del entendido; el funcionario probo debajo, siempre debajo\u201d; \u201cNo deb\u00eda ser verdaderamente rico nadie m\u00e1s que el Estado. Todos los dem\u00e1s caudales eran producto del fraude y del cohecho\u201d; \u201cA m\u00ed esto me pasa por decente\u201d; \u201cYo no quiero credenciales, ni colocaci\u00f3n, ni derechos pasivos, ni nada; no quiero m\u00e1s que la verdad por delante, la buena administraci\u00f3n y conciliar\u2026 compaginar\u2026 armonizar (\u2026) los intereses del Estado con los del contribuyente\u201d; \u201c\u00a1Yo no pido m\u00e1s que orden, moralidad, econom\u00eda!\u201d.<\/p>\n
He gozado leyendo este libro, escrito hace 130 a\u00f1os, que aporta mucho al momento actual, con una amarga iron\u00eda y un manejo del lenguaje soberbio.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
