En El Tercer Reich Roberto Bolaño da voz a diversos personajes, disponiéndolos en una suerte de tablero en el que se libra la guerra más antigua de todas: la del nazismo, la de la decadente cultura occidental, la del ser humano contra sí mismo. Se conoce por «juego de guerra» aquel que recrea y simula un enfrentamiento armado a cualquier nivel, sujetándose a reglas para el desarrollo del mismo. El alemán Udo Berger es campeón de esta disciplina en su país. Los juegos de guerra son al tiempo su profesión y su obsesión; ocupan su vida e invaden su pensamiento a todas horas. Incluso durante el viaje que realiza con su novia Ingeborg a la Costa Brava, donde él había veraneado en su infancia, se hace instalar una gran mesa en la habitación del hotel para pensar en las estrategias de su nuevo juego, El Tercer Reich. Una noche, sin embargo, Udo e Ingeborg conocen a otra pareja de alemanes, Charly y Hanna, que les introducirán a un mundo oculto tras las playas y el sol. Un mundo poblado por personajes de dudosa reputación, pasados oscuros y futuros aún más enigmáticos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice On vacation with his girlfriend, Ingeborg, the German war games champion Udo Berger returns to a small town on the Costa Brava where he spent the summers of his childhood. Soon they meet another vacationing German couple, Charly and Hanna, who introduce them to a band of locals—the Wolf, the Lamb, and El Quemado—and to the darker side of life in a resort town. Late one night, Charly disappears without a trace, and Udo's well-ordered life is thrown into upheaval; while Ingeborg and Hanna return to their lives in Germany, he refuses to leave the hotel. Soon he and El Quemado are enmeshed in a round of Third Reich, Udo's favorite World War II strategy game, and Udo discovers that the game's consequences may be all too real. Written in 1989 and found among Roberto Bolaño's papers after his death, The Third Reich is a stunning exploration of memory and violence. Reading this quick, visceral novel, we see a world-class writer coming into his own—and exploring for the first time the themes that would define his masterpieces The Savage Detectives and 2666.
