La diferencia entre Tarantino y yo -dijo Jean-Luc Godard- es que el cine vive en mí, mientras que él vive en el cine''. Gerardo Sánchez (Madrid, 1960), que los menciona a ambos en el primer párrafo de este libro, ha vivido desde que recuerda en los cines y, definitivamente, el cine vive en él. En las páginas de este libro, constantemente lo sucedido en el mundo real se mezcla con las películas o se explica a través de ellas. Su biografía no se entiende sin esas imágenes, diálogos, libros y bandas sonoras que atesora en su prodigiosa memoria para regalárnoslas generosamente aquí, como el Martin Tupper de la serie Sigue soñando, que vivía su vida a través del cine en blanco y negro que había visto hipnotizado desde niño en su televisor. Desde sus primeras visitas al cine Usera con su abuela, hasta sus más de quince años como director del programa Días de Cine de RTVE, Gerardo Sánchez -soñador y trabajador de energía inagotable- nos relata cómo se construye desde la curiosidad y la devoción una cinefilia, mientras repasa su vida de la misma forma en la que habla: rápido, directo y afilado. Con un particular sentido del humor, desgranando anécdotas hilarantes, vergonzosas y sorprendentes, postrándose ante sus referentes cinéfilos y desenmascarando ligero, como un espadachín, a algún que otro impostor de cuyo nombre no quiere acordarse. Todo es real, pero ya saben, este libro está impreso, y su autor es fordiano, así que quizá se encuentren con alguna leyenda.

In June 1609, two judges left Bordeaux for a territory at the very edge of their jurisdiction, a Basque-speaking province on the Atlantic coast called the Pays de Labourd. In four months, they executed up to 80 women and men for the crime of witchcraft, causing a wave of suspects to flee into Spain and sparking terror there. Witnesses, many of them children, described lurid tales of cannibalism, vampirism, and demonic sex. One of the judges, Pierre de Lancre, published a sensationalist account of this diabolical netherworld. With other accounts seemingly destroyed, this witch-hunt – France's largest – has always been seen through de Lancre's eyes. The narrative, re-told over the centuries, is that of a witch-hunt caused by a bigoted outsider.Newly discovered evidence paints a very different, still darker picture, revealing a secret history underneath de Lancre's well-known tale. Far from an outside imposition, witchcraft was a home-grown problem. Panic had been building up over a number of years and the region was fractured by factionalism and a struggle over scarce resources. The Basque Witch-Hunt reveals that de Lancre was no outsider, he was a local partisan, married into the Basque nobility. Living at the Franco-Spanish border, the Basques were victims of geography. Geo-politics caused a local conflict which made the witch-hunt inevitable. The same forces eventually sent thousands of religious refugees from Spain to France where they, in turn, became new objects of popular fear and anger.The Basque witch-hunt is justly infamous. This book shows that almost everything historians thought they knew about it is wrong.
