Novel of initiation

  • Joxemari Iturralde::The nights of Rasputin and St. Petersburg Elkar, 2013
This history has as its starting point the district of La Négresse in Biarritz. The site has become strange to me. When Iturralde travels in plan with his cousin Ramuntcho, he signals him in the Russian neighbourhood of the area. Neroni La Négresse is the banlieue district of Biarritz. It's just an impression. The story was collected by the

parish priest Tomás Mikelestorena through Esteban Urtunsaustegi and Jeanne Munitxa, and has been transmitted by Uncle Martin to Joxemari Iturralde. Stephen and Jeanne, Basques of Iparralde, are novel characters. The protagonists are Rasputin – Gregori Efimovich –, Alexandra Tsarina – Ms. by Zar Nicholas II–, Alexis and Yussupov, among others.Although it is

a historical novel, it is for the most part a fiction novel. It also has a little erotic. The writer Tolosarra narrates the last days of the Russian Tsar, as well as the beginning of the Bolshevik revolution – there is a part of the documentation – and also the writing she has done to bring history to fiction. The erotic of the novel is, however, very limited.

Here's another strange impression: Rasputin’s interim virtues are more due to his lazy penis than to his mysticism. Well, the engine of history is retained by power -- money -- and sex, mysticism also the prefect. This is false, but at least the first two are more reales.Las

nights of Rasputin and St. Petersburg I
regard it as an opening novel. Tolosarra uses unhindered language, a reading that starts and ends in a journey.
