About the Book

Cosas Medio Olvidadas' enfoca la atención en la familia Aberásturi, una prominente familia española-vascongada de Malitbog, un pueblo en la isla de Leyte Sur, Filipinas. Las memorias comienzan cuando Txomin Aberásturi vuelve a su pueblo natal para visitar a su familia, despues de una larga ausencia. Del paisaje, lleno de colores, sonidos y aromas, y de encuentros con sus seres queridos, recuerdos aparecen y se levantan, y son recontados con intensa viveza. Nos presenta anécdotas de una familia, sus aventuras, riñas y escándalos, que aunque tuvieron lugar en otra época y tiempo, toca una cuerda humana universal. Cuando Txomin tenía ocho años, bombardearon Pearl Harbor, y la vida en Filipinas, así como en los demás sitios, cambiaron dramáticamente. Es fascinante leer los detalles de la vida durante la ocupación japonesa del autor, que aunque es extremamente conocedor de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, escribe con la visión clara de un niño. Particularmente, fuerza nuestra atención a la narrativa de un niño sobre la ocupación japonesa durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, en su asombrosa y valerosa descripción de brutalidad, mezclada con la vida rutinaria de cada día. Hay muchos personajes memorables en 'Cosas Medio Olvidadas' con características que nos recuerdan a personas que encontramos en nuestras vidas. Uno de ellos es el capitán americano que ayudó a organizar el movimiento guerrillero en Leyte, durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, quien se enamoró de una bella prima de Txomin, y la llevó a las montañas de Leyte, a los 'boondocks' como los americanos los llamaban, una palabra que adoptaron del original nombre Filipino 'bundok' por montaña, que con el tiempo se ha incorporado en el diccionario inglés. Su historia fue la base para el libro y mas tarde para la película, 'Un Guerrillero Americano en Filipinas, ' con Tyrone Power como protagonista. El retrato mas imponente en este libro, es el del padre del autor, un hombre de una compasión e integridad abrumadora, un héroe para su hijo y para el lector. El padre de Txomin, Dionisio Aberásturi, un vasco de Vizcaya, España, vino a Fiipinas a principios del siglo XX, el centro de su familia y de estas memorias, es definido no solo por su firme rectitud, sino también por su manera de actuar, tanto mas notable y extraordinario porque no es algo novelesco o puro cuento. Dos hermanas del autor se encontraban en España, estudiando en un internado, y estaban de vacaciones en Larrauri un pueblecito no muy lejos de Guernica, cuando estalló la Guerra Civil Española, y está vivamente descrito en este libro. La Batalla del Golfo de Leyte, 'la mas grande de todas las batallas navales, ' es relatado en meticuloso, casi cinematográfico detalle, con el pequeño Txomin testigo visual del principio de este definitivo acontecimiento histórico. Despues de la guerra, como la armada americana necesitaba abaca, se hizo posible empezar a re-establecer el negocio de la familia. El autor trabajó duro al lado de su padre, hasta que tuvo que ir a la universidad a estudiar. Mientras está estudiando, su padre muere en un accidente trágico, y Txomin vuelve a casa para el funeral. La ausencia de su padre era tan palpable, como su presencia siempre lo fue. El lector es arrastrado por el enorme vacío que ha dejado. Txomin Aberásturi era un ingeniero. Trabajó como profesor de matemática, y mas tarde manejó una planta suministradora de Mobil Oil Philippines. Murió en Nueva York en 2007. Nilda Aberásturi vive en Nueva York; ha escrito una novela, y ahora está en el proceso de escribir otro libro. Esta es la primera obra literaria en común del autor.
