25
years with Tres Trilogías
María
Ángeles Rodríguez Arango
 Trilogy
of space
It
includes the titles: Rueda de girasol (1964), Cancionero de
proa (1967) and El rey de las estrellas (1968).
Rueda
del girasol is edited in the number 44 of the Colección
Rocamador and appears in 1964. It insists on the solitude
and anguish of the city. The great majority of the first drafts
of this book were written during a trip the author carried
out from Algeciras to Ronda. The steep landscape of the place
had impressed him so much that, in addition to feeling as
if he was floating in the air, it made him forget the coming
and going of the city and the port, of the commerce and smuggling.
It has three parts, but the most significant is the second
one because he reflects in it the city he strolled through,
as a lonely and nostalgic person.
Cancionero
de proa appears in 1967 and reflects the traveling experiences
based on the first years of profession. The train will become
symbol of life, symbol of running towards the sea (death)
passing people it invites to join together their hands. He
also observes the world from the windscreen of the car or
from the hatchway of the ship.
El
rey de las estrellas dates from 1969 and in it, he looks
from the astronauts’ spacesuits. The night the man managed
to reach the moon, the 20th of July, 1969, popularized the
Neil Amstrong’s phrase: “A small step for a human
being, but a gigantic one for Humanity”. The author makes
good use of the occasion to move to the moon all the men’s
silence and solitude.
