Reseña de Bellum: Sangre y Acero

Autor: Perceval
Género: Novela filosófica - bélica - épica contemporánea

Bellum: Sangre y Acero no es simplemente una novela de guerra. Se trata de un extenso viaje narrativo que combina filosofía, memoria autobiográfica, elementos de ciencia ficción imperial y un registro poético que oscila entre lo íntimo y lo heroico.

La obra está estructurada en "luces" o etapas simbólicas (Luz Negra, Roja, Ámbar, Verde, Azul, Violeta y Blanca), cada una asociada a un momento vital y espiritual del protagonista Perceval. Esta estructura recuerda tanto a la Divina Comedia como a la lógica iniciática de los mitos griegos y védicos.

Temáticas centrales
  1. El dolor y la trascendencia
    La narración se abre en un paisaje devastado por la guerra. El protagonista, herido y aislado en una iglesia destruida, plantea la pregunta fundamental: ¿cuál es el sentido del dolor? A partir de allí se despliega un recorrido donde el sufrimiento personal y el horror colectivo se transforman en camino de trascendencia.

  2. La genealogía del trauma
    Una parte significativa de la obra se adentra en la infancia y juventud marcada por la violencia familiar. La figura paterna aparece como un ídolo oscuro, un "demonio devorador de linajes" que forja, a través del castigo, una pedagogía del miedo. Estas memorias no son presentadas como victimismo, sino como un crisol de resistencia y de formación del carácter guerrero.

  3. El ethos del guerrero
    La novela no describe solo batallas externas, sino un combate interior. El protagonista vincula su disciplina física, filosófica y espiritual con una ética guerrera inspirada en el Karma Yoga, el svadharma (deber propio) y la tradición romana. La frase tatuada sobre su piel, Arete kai Aletheia ("virtud y verdad"), condensa esa ética.

  4. La dimensión mística
    Más allá de la violencia, el texto busca constantemente lo trascendente: epifanías, revelaciones, comunión con lo divino y momentos de disolución del ego. La guerra se convierte en una vía mística, no glorificada sino entendida como sacrificio y posibilidad de redención.

Estilo narrativo

El estilo de Perceval es híbrido:

  • Épico: abundan referencias a Roma, Esparta, la mitología griega y el sánscrito védico.

  • Filosófico: los capítulos están atravesados por citas latinas y reflexiones sobre ética, libertad, justicia y el sentido del dolor.

  • Poético y confesional: en los pasajes autobiográficos el tono se acerca al diario íntimo o a la poesía desgarrada.

La obra dialoga con múltiples tradiciones:

  • Con Homero y Virgilio en la construcción del héroe errante.

  • Con Nietzsche y Kant en la reflexión ética.

  • Con Dostoievski y Berserk en la exploración del sufrimiento humano.

  • Con testimonios bélicos contemporáneos, evocando el realismo de La infancia de Iván de Tarkovski.

Bellum: Sangre y Acero funciona a varios niveles:

  • Como testimonio vital de guerra y superación personal.

  • Como tratado filosófico narrado, que interpela sobre el sentido del sacrificio, la libertad y la redención.

  • Como obra literaria experimental, que mezcla géneros para crear un relato total.

Bellum: Sangre y Acero es una novela monumental, exigente y profundamente personal. Su mayor mérito es convertir el trauma y la guerra en un lenguaje filosófico-poético que cuestiona los fundamentos de la existencia. No es un libro fácil ni ligero, pero sí una obra con la capacidad de conmover y de interpelar al lector sobre la condición humana, el sacrificio y la búsq
