Los demonios de la lengua




Los demonios de la lengua
Una historia secreta sobre las tentaciones
Alberto Ruy Sánchez
Punto de lectura

Es una bellísima novela que narra magistralmente la posesión demoníaca de un sacerdote jesuita, quien murió ahorcado por su propia lengua. Un relato en donde se funden la historia con la ficción, el bien con el mal y donde las trampas de fe se confunden con las trampas de la razón y el deseo. Quizá el sacerdote antes había creído tener contacto con Dios en una noche de éxtasis; pero tal vez sólo conoció al demonio del deseo. Bellamente ilustrada por los grabados de Joel Rendón. La obra en sí es un libro-objeto.

De la letra endemoniada

Tal vez por haber sido educado con jesuitas, el autor de este libro, Alberto Ruy Sánchez, escribió este relato sobre la duda y los límites confusos entre la razón, la fe y el éxtasis. Se inspiró en un jesuita célebre, el padre Jean Joseph Surin, exorcista histórico del convento de Loudun en el siglo XVII, poseído por los también célebres demonios Asmodeo y Zabulón. Sentir más que simplemente informar, reconstruir el lugar a través de las sensaciones , principios básicos de la educación jesuítica en los ejercicios de San Ignacio, sobre todo el ejercicio que consiste en imaginar del Infierno, están presentes en este relato. Para contar la historia del jesuita endemoniado por la lengua, el autor eligió a un dominico, orden inquisidora tradicionalmente enemiga de los jesuitas. Juan Ignacio Llorente fue un inquisidor disidente que ayudó a que se cerrará la Santa Inquisición al principio del siglo XIX. Como remate, en esta sucesión de relatos dentro de relatos, el autor cuenta los sueños eróticos poseídos de un sabio beato, patriota y mojigato de los siglos XIX y XX, que odiaba desde el fondo de su carne al heterodoxo Llorente, Marcelino Méndez y Pelayo.



Los demonios de la lengua fue publicado por primera vez en 1987 provocando reacciones adversas de algunos historiadores jesuitas pero también un ramillete de entusiasmos entre los heterodoxos de la orden. Hubo rápidamente varias ediciones y traducciones a otras lenguas, osadas adaptaciones de teatro y un grupo de rock lo adoptó como estandarte, como nombre del grupo y tema de su primera grabación. Los demonios de la lengua apareció el mismo año que al autor publicó Los nombres del aire. Los dos relatos eran como dos alas del mismo pájaro explorador del deseo. Vuelo con culpa, en el aire de la tradición cristiana, y otro sin culpa, retomando aliento en la tradición islámica . Esta última vertiente se convirtió en un cliclo de cinco libros al añadir En los labios del agua, Los jardines secretos de Mogador, La mano de fuego y Nueve veces el asombro.

De formación literaria, estética y filosófica , doctorado en la Universidad de París, el autor ha recibido varios reconocimientos internacionales. Además de narrador es ensayista, poeta y editor. Desde 1988 dirige la casa editorial y la revista Artes de México. Pero él se considera sobre todo un nómada contador de historias, por lo que algunos lo han calificado como escritor viajero. Tal vez son Los demonios de la lengua quienes dicen algo más de este autor en su página electrónica: www.albertoruysanchez.com



De la imagen edemoniada

El artista Joel Rendón llegó a soñar con demonios y, ya despierto, a obsesionarse totalmente con ellos mientras revisaba los grabados clásicos, franceses, alemanes y flamencos que ilustraron las ediciones anteriores de Los demonios de la lengua. Se necesita estar poseído por ellos, decía el artista, para poder de verdad dibujarlos. Así, Joel Rendón los introduce como nadie en la espectacular tradición del grabado mexicano, haciendo para los demonios lo que Posada hizo para la calavera. Una mezcla paradójica de humor y gravedad, de inocencia y perversión, anima a sus demonios barrocos convirtiéndolos en una de las obras mayores del grabado mexicano contemporáneo. Antes de dar este cuerpo ilustrado a Los demonios de la lengua, Joel Rendón se había ocupado de otra obsesión de Alberto Ruy Sánchez, La melancolía, editando con él una carpeta de grabados con ese título en Artes de México, que ilustraron también la primera edición en Taurus de su libro de ensayos Con la literatura en el cuerpo.


La extensa obra del grabador e ilustrador de Rendón ha sido expuesta y reconocida en varios países y publicada en libros y revistas. Ha dado clases de grabado hasta en la televisión, creando el programa Estampa al minuto; ha ambientado sitios públicos, como el restaurante Los Danzantes y ha incursionado en el cine experimental. Fue ganador del Primer Premio de Grabado José Guadalupe Posada y ha sido artista residente en el Art Institute de Chicago y en el Banff Center for Arts de Canadá.

Suena re-interesante, pero siendote muy sincera yo no creo que aguante el miedo por el tema de los demonios y si hay un religioso inmiscuido peor tantito!

Muy buenas xilografías, me encantan los libros ilustrados. Entre los que más me gustaron están La metamorfosis ilustrado por Scafati, un artista mendocino, y La guerra del malón y El matadero por Carlos Alonso. También son libros que en sí son obras de arte.
saludos.
