Published in 1921, "Belarmino y Apolonio" probably is the best
novel written by the Spanish Asturias-born writer Ramon Perez de
Ayala, and certainly a most significant one among those published
during the so-called Spanish culture Silver Age (1898-1936).
According to the French hispanist critic Jean Cassou "Belarmino y
Apolonio" should be considered one of the most important novels in
Spanish literature, second only to "El Quijote." The novel appears
at first sight to be a story that could be classified as
"costumbrismo" or even romantic pulp fiction: the forbidden love
between a young seminarist and a beautiful girl, son and daughter
respectively of two shoemakers who happen to hate each other. But
in truth the work constitutes a singular mechanism of mirrors and
retelling, and a continuous pondering upon human behavior, up to
the point that the reader soon realizes that one of the cobblers is
a philosopher who happens to have invented a new language, and the
other one considers himself to be a playwright and normally speaks
in verse. With this novel Perez de Ayala presents a fictional
research on the point of view, the contrast and, finally, the
relativeness and contingency of human opinion, and how do these
affect the precious good called "happiness," in a text that
combines cultural references and an essay-like style with a precise
narrative structure, all encompassed in a playful and ironic tone
of voice.
