Perteneciente a la serie de las Memorias de un hombre de accion. Es
una novela historica, a pesar del tan pregonado antihistoricismo de
Baroja, que describe el mundo del que el autor fue consciente de
ser testigo ultimo, un mundo que se transformaba y cambiaba y del
que habia que dejar memoria.
Las inquietudes de Shanti Andia (1911) es cronologicamente la
primera de las novelas del mar de Baroja. Escrita en su madurez
creativa, el autor eligio el mar como protagonista, escenario
favorito de Baroja para todo genero de accion, en contrapartida de
la vida de tierra adentro.

Zalacain the Adventurer is one of the most popular novels by a
member of the Generation of '98, and yet book and author are
largely unknown in this country. Pio Baroja wrote more than 100
works and has been published as recently as 1995 in Spain. There's
even a promenade, Paseo Pio Baroja, in San Sebastian (130 miles
northwest of Madrid) named after him. Although supposedly
influenced by Nietzsche, Baroja regales us with a delightful sense
of humor and an upbeat perspective in Zalacain the Adventurer. With
this translation by James P. Diendl, Pio Baroja's US reputation is
assured. The novel recounts the life of a remarkable Basque man
named Martin Zalacain, hero of the last of the Spanish Carlist
Wars. A native of Urbia (now Euskal Herria), Martin's adventures in
nonconformity are hilarious. Disdainful of the rigid, bloodthirsty
Spanish rule and contemptuous of the blind religious passion of his
countrymen, he cleverly disguises his liberal views from all but
his closest colleagues. With his comrades, Martin Zalacain commits
dastardly "crimes" against Spain and France. In one slapstick
sequence, he pretends to be French one minute and Basque the next,
kidnapping nuns and posing as a Carlist general to outwit his
enemies. With luck as his faithful if mischievous ally, Martin
escapes from one predicament only to find himself in a worse, if
funnier, situation. This most complete and modern of Baroja's
novels gives the reader a vivid picture of the Basque people and
the flavor of 19th-century Spain. Translator James P. Diendl has a
master's degree in Spanish Language and Literature from Ohio State
University.

His negation had no reference, --far from it, --to women, to love,
or to friends, things where the pedantic and ostentatious
scepticism of literary men of the Larra type usually finds its
fodder; his nihilism was much more the confusion and discomposure
of one that explores a region well or badly, and finds no landmarks
there, no paths, and returns with a belief that even the compass is
not exact in what it show
Such are the words of the psychologist, DuBois-Reymond, in one of
his well-known lectures. The agnostic attitude is the most seemly
that it is possible to take. Nowadays, not only have all religious
ideas been upset, but so too has everything which until now
appeared most solid, most indivisible. Who has faith any longer in
the atom? Who believes in the soul as a monad? Who believes in the
objective validity of the senses?
