Abstract
En este breve pero cautivador relato titulado simplemente Notre-Dame, el célebre autor de Los pilares de la Tierra, Ken Follett, ofrece un bello homenaje a Notre-Dame de París quemada. Nos libera su emoción al enterarse, el 15 de abril de 2019, del drama que amenazaba con destruir un símbolo francés pero también universal. La famosa aguja de Eugène Viollet-le-Duc tiende a derrumbarse, el fuego consume una joya que todos creíamos eterna, las llamas devastan una gran parte del tejado y rodean las dos torres gemelas. Entonces, Ken Follett señala que este día permanecerá en la mente puesto que descubrimos que Notre-Dame, un monumento tan emblemático y simbólico, era destructible por el fuego. Así, en los días siguientes al incendio, escribe, «en caliente», un pequeño documento para honrar a la "la vieja dama", editado en Francia apenas tres meses después de la tragedia. Recorre la historia de la catedral desde su construcción hasta el papel que desempeñó en el destino de la nación francesa, resaltando al mismo tiempo la fascinación y atracción universales que ha ejercido a lo largo de los siglos. Su alabanza a Notre Dame se expresa también por el papel que desempeñó en la escritura de su novela histórica Los pilares de la Tierra; Ken Follett testimonia la gran influencia que ejerció sobre él. Por lo tanto, no se ha precisado el título de este texto inédito, pero Follett aceptó naturalmente publicar un libro íntimo destinado a la recogida de donaciones para la reconstrucción. Los beneficios y los derechos de autor derivados de la venta se devolverán íntegramente a la Fundación del Patrimonio, encargada de recaudar los fondos y supervisar la reconstrucción de la catedral ya iniciada.
In this brief but captivating account, simply entitled Notre-Dame, the celebrated author of The Pillars of the Earth, Ken Follett, offers a beautiful tribute to Notre-Dame de Paris burned. He delivers his emotion by learning, on April 15, 2019, the drama that threatened to destroy a french but also universal symbol. The famous arrow of Eugène Viollet-le-Duc tends to collapse, the fire consumes a jewel that we all thought eternal, the flames devastate a large part of the roof and surround the two twin towers. From then on, Ken Follet points out that this day will remain in the minds as we discovered that Notre-Dame, such an emblematic and symbolic monument, was destructive by fire. Thus, in the days following the fire, he wrote, «hot», a small booklet in order to put the «old lady» in the spotlight, published in France barely three months after the tragedy. It traces the history of the cathedral from its construction to the role it played in the destiny of the French nation, while highlighting the universal fascination and attraction that it has exercised over the centuries. His praise at Notre-Dame is also expressed by the role she played in the writing of his historical novel The Pillars of the Earth; Ken Follet testifies to the great influence she exerted on him. Therefore, the title of this unpublished text has not been specified, but Follett has naturally agreed to publish an intimate book intended for the collection of donations for reconstruction. All proceeds and copyright derived from the sale will be donated to the Heritage Foundation, which is responsible for raising the funds and overseeing the reconstruction of the cathedral already begun.
