Información de contracubierta:
La acción del bestseller del año tiene lugar en 1988. El Proyecto Siciliano es el plan del siglo. Nada más importante desde la bomba atómica. Su éxito significará levantar una red protectora sobre todo el país, protegiéndolo de cualquier ataque exterior. Pero se necesita bizanio, carísimo elemento, que ya no se da en la naturaleza. El único bizanio que hay en el mundo está sepultado en el “Titanic”, hundido en 1912 y que yace en el fondo del mar, a más de dos millas de profundidad.

La crítica dijo:
“Extraordinario suspenso, salta de una emoción a otra, mantiene al lector tan cautivo, que nadie quiere que llegue el final”.
Publishers Weekly

“¡Rescaten el Titanic! es suspenso en su mejor sentido. Será tal vez el éxito del año”.
San Francisco Chronicle

“Cussler imaginó con genio y creó con perfección”.
Philadelphia Inquirer
 
MI COMENTARIO:
Un verdadero clásico en la literatura de espionaje y de aventura moderna, ¡Rescaten el Titanic! fue la tercera novela del escritor Clive Cussler sobre Dirk Pitt, agente de NUMA (National Underwater & Marine Agency), pero la primera que tuvo un gran éxito a nivel mundial, y que terminó por consolidar a la serie como una de las mejores del género, que ya va por el libro nº 27, The Corsican Shadow, publicado en 2023 por Dirk Cussler, hijo de Clive y continuador de sus novelas.
El presidente de EEUU autoriza y sostiene el “Proyecto Siciliano”, un esquema ultrasecreto funcionando a espaldas del Congreso y de la opinión pública, que busca dotar a su país de la invulnerabilidad frente a un posible ataque misilístico de la URSS. Para lograr su objetivo, necesita imperiosamente de bizanio, un mineral rarísimo que sólo pudo hallarse en el Ártico ruso. Se descubre que un cargamento de bizanio pudo haber sido transportado en el Titanic, famoso barco hundido en 1912. Contrareloj, se monta una operación dirigida por Dirk Pitt para llevarlo a la superficie y arrástralo hasta el puerto de Nueva York. Sin embargo, la KGB logró infiltrar a dos espías en el contingente de rescate, que recurren incluso al asesinato para malograr la misión. Sólo la poderosa mente de Pitt puede resolver este misterio y evitar una catástrofe.
Cussler crea a un héroe sólido, hecho a sí mismo, inteligente, intuitivo, seductor, misterioso. Un lobo solitario que sabe hacer su trabajo y que quiere lo mejor para su país. La novela tiene un fuerte espíritu de restauración post-Watergate. Más allá de los fallos, hasta de los delitos del pasado reciente, Pitt encarna la necesidad de que EEUU prosiga su lucha por la libertad y contra el imperio soviético. Hay una escena muy ilustrativa: la viuda de uno de los mineros que trabajaron en la búsqueda del bizanio a principios del siglo XX es contactada por la inteligencia norteamericana para que brinde alguna pista sobre dónde puede estar. Al principio se niega. Le dicen que tiene una llamada telefónica. Después de atender, pregunta emocionada si es cierto que el que la llamó fue el presidente de EEUU para pedirle su colaboración. Cussler reflota no sólo al Titanic, sino al sentimiento patriótico que su país tenía muy dañado a finales de los 70. Lo hace apelando tanto al cultivo de las viejas tradiciones de camaradería y de esfuerzo que crearon a la gran república del Norte, así como a la tecnología militar y marina, que tiene que priorizarse, incluso sobre las preocupaciones sociales. Cussler quiere ganar porque lo cree justo, y así lo demuestra en una gran novela de acción, de misterio y de pasión.

Información de contracubierta:
Nicholai Hel es el hombre más buscado del mundo. Nacido en Shangai durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, es hijo de una aristócrata rusa y de un alemán misterioso, además de protegido de un maestro Go japonés. Hel, que sobrevivió a la destrucción de Hiroshima, se ha convertido en un artista del asesinato a sueldo. Es un genio, un iniciado, un auténtico sabio del lenguaje y la cultura cuyo secreto radica en la determinación por alcanzar un estado de perfección conocido como shibumi.
Tras varios años escondido en su fortaleza para huir del pasado, se ve obligado a volver al terreno de juego cuando una joven acude a él y le pide protección. Pronto descubrirá que detrás del telón se encuentra su enemigo más siniestro: una red de espionaje conocida como Compañía madre. Las líneas del juego están trazadas: poder y corrupción en un lado, en el otro... shibumi.
 
Información de página final:
Trevanian, seudónimo literario de Rodney Whitaker (Granville, New York, 1931 – West Country of England, 2005), mantuvo durante muchos años su verdadera identidad oculta. Tras participar en la guerra de Corea, finalizó sus estudios de Comunicación. Fue profesor de cine en la Universidad de Texas, y vivió en el País Vasco Francés. Se especializó en el género de espionaje. Ha vendido millones de libros en todo el mundo y su obra ha sido traducida a catorce idiomas.
 
MI COMENTARIO:
Nicholai Alexandrovich Hel tiene todo para ser una rareza, una anomalía en el mundo. Nacido de una aristócrata rusa habitante de Shanghai, dedicada a la prostitución de alto nivel, y de un fugaz amante alemán, Hel se cría en ambiente que fomenta su aislamiento, sus arrebatos místicos y su odio a la vulgaridad del mundo, a la “mentalidad do comerciante”, como él dice. Tomada la ciudad por las tropas japonesas, el niño se amiga con el general Kishikawa Takashi, que se convierte en una figura central de su vida, al introducirlo al juego del Gõ y a la filosofía del shibumi. Como le explica el general en una de sus charlas:
“Como sabes, shibumi tiene que ver con un gran refinamiento fundamental bajo una apariencia corriente. Es un concepto tan correcto que no tiene que ser audaz; tan sutil, que no tiene que ser bonito; tan verdadero, que no tiene que ser real. Shibumi es comprensión más que conocimiento. Silencio elocuente. En el comportamiento, es modestia sin recato. En el arte, en donde el espíritu de shibumi toma la forma de sabi, es elegante simplicidad, brevedad articulada. En la filosofía, en la que el shibumi emerge como wabi, es un sosiego espiritual que no es pasivo; es el ser sin la angustia de la conversión. Y hablando de la personalidad de un hombre es... ¿cómo podría explicarse? ¿Autoridad sin dominio? Algo parecido.”
 Al final de la guerra y tras la muerte de su madre, Hel se va a vivir a Japón, donde profundiza en sus dotes, y conoce el amor. Trabaja para las fuerzas norteamericanas de ocupación en la sección de encriptación. Logra ubicar a Kishikawa, quien se encuentra detenido por los rusos; en una entrevista en la prisión y a pedido del general, Hel lo mata para preservar su honor. Tras este incidente es detenido, cruelmente interrogado y encerrado durante tres años. Consigue salir gracias a que la CIA determina que es el hombre adecuado para encarar misiones secretas de alta peligrosidad en el Extremo Oriente. Es así que Hel termina trabajando para sus torturadores, sin dejar de desarrollar un profundo rechazo hacia la cultura de EE.UU.
Encontramos entonces al protagonista, ya retirado, viviendo en un castillo que compró en el País Vasco francés. Vive aislado, sólo con la compañía de algunos amigos de la región, y de Hana, una atractiva consorte traída de Asia. Se dedica a la espeleología, disciplina que aprendió en su estadía en Japón. Su tranquilidad es interrumpida por la llegada de Hanna Stern, sobreviviente de una célula terrorista que se dedicaba a perseguir a los integrantes de Septiembre Negro, grupo que atentó contra la delegación israelí en los Juegos Olímpicos de Munich. Su vida corre peligro, los custodios de los grandes intereses mundiales ponen sus ojos en ella y en Hel para impedir que sus movimientos los perjudiquen.
Trevanian cuenta su historia en dos niveles: la vida pasada y presente de Hel, y las actividades de la que él llama la “Organización Madre”, un ente clandestino y poderoso, que maneja los hilos de los gobiernos y los servicios secretos, velando por el bienestar y los dividendos de los verdaderos dueños del mundo: las empresas del sector energético. Hel es capaz de enfrentarse a sus sicarios porque es el mejor asesino profesional del mundo, porque tiene el mejor sentido de proximidad que existe y por la información que maneja gracias a sus contactos. Sin embargo, esta vez le será difícil, muy difícil sobrevivir.
La novela tiene sus altas y bajas. La narración de los primeros años de Nicholai, su estadía en Japón, su vida en el castillo, la fallida protección que le da a Hanna Stern, son lo mejor de la historia. Sin embargo, creo que la descripción de sus salidas espeleológicas está lejos de ser agradable para el lector, podría haberse elaborado mejor, teniendo en cuenta el desconocimiento de la mayoría de los lectores sobre esta ciencia-deporte. Los detalles de los encuentros sexuales de Hel aparecen como recatados, aunque se presume que es uno de los mejores amantes del mundo. En cambio, los amigos del protagonista son retratados de manera bizarra, como personajes singulares, excéntricos, con un carisma por momentos agobiante.
Shibumi ha quedado en la historia del género del espionaje de ficción como una de las mejores novelas sobre la vida solitaria de los asesinos profesionales, agentes de la intriga internacional que combinan dotes de intuición, inteligencia y audacia con una vida solitaria, imprevisible, donde el final del juego inevitablemente es la prisión o la muerte violenta. El año pasado, el escritor Don Winslow ha escrito una precuela llamada Satori, donde relata la primera misión como asesino de Nicholai Hel, que en Shibumi simplemente es mencionada.

BYRON JANIS R.I.P.

By spyvibe.blogspot.com
Published On :: Tue, 19 Mar 2024 02:21:00 +0000

Internationally acclaimed pianist Byron Janis passed away yesterday at the age of 95. In the 1940s at the age of 14, Janis became the pupil of Vladimir Horowitz and quickly began a long career playing around the globe as a cultural ambassador. Of interest to Spy Vibers, Janis also played an important role soothing tensions between the west and the Soviet Union during the Cold War (as did Canadian pianist, Van Cliburn). Together with his wife (the daughter of Gary Cooper), he wrote an auto-biography called Chopin and Beyond: My Extraordinary Life in Music and the Paranormal, and apparently Martin Scorsese is developing a bio-pic (I hope that happens!). I only discovered Byron Janis' music in recent years and I'm glad I had a chance to connect with his site and order an autographed copy of one of his live recordings. To mark his passing, here is one of my posts about Cold War classical music, as well as a video about Janis in Russia. More info at his official website. 

 

One of the little corners of history that has interested me as I work on my upcoming book is how music intersected with the Cold War. My book will include some analysis of how styles and themes within art and design played key roles in many aspects of genre pop culture, from those archetypal evil villain lairs to the use of abstract painting in set design. Even though my focus is essentially on film and television projects about fictional spies and detectives (and villains!), these works also reflected their times and art and music played an important role. Spy Vibers will probably be familiar with the US State Department's efforts to use jazz to promote American ideology and win allies abroad by sending artists like The Dave Brubeck Quartet to trouble spots. This political climate also intersected with the classical music world. Major soloists and conductors from both East and West took part in good-will tours, forging relationships and proving to the other side that culture, either under communism or capitalism, continued to thrive. Touring the West, along with recording co-productions, also became a way for the struggling economy of East Germany to raise income, but there was always a fear that the talent would make a run for it and never return. Musicians in the GDR were often tapped by the Stasi to watch their colleagues for signs of defection. And under communist control, repertoire was controlled and limited mainly to an ideological formalism. For musicians in West Berlin, both the Wall and the eventual limiting of wages to East German currency even separated them from their employment in Eastern productions; yet another manifestation of a city and culture divided. As the world of the East became more insular, there were many classical artists from the West who visited to foster good relations. Even C.R. Fine and Wilma Cozart-Fine were allowed to bring their Mercury records mobile van to the Grand Hall of the Moscow Conservatoire to record the Russian State Folk Orchestra. Pianists such as Glenn Gould, Byron Janis, and others became instant celebrities during their tours behind the Curtain. One of the brightest stars in this orbit was American pianist Van Cliburn. Cliburn was a young prodigy who raced onto the international scene after winning the Tchaikovsky Competition in Russia in 1958. One of his loudest supporters was Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, who became a life-long fan and friend. Van's appearances ignited a kind of Cliburn-mania, generating items like pinups and publications which were traded among his loyal followers. He was a sensation and the phenomenon landed the young pianist on the cover of Time that year -and inspired special attention from the US intelligence community, who wondered how Van's unique position might be used for political advantage. And while these real-life stories played out, fans of suave fictional detectives and international spies in the West were seeing similar themes echoed in genre entertainment. Ian Fleming, for example, included a female orchestra musician in his cocktail of Bond, assassins, and Berlin escapes in "The Living Daylights" (Sunday Times/1962). John Steed and Cathy Gale of The Avengers aided a traveling Russian pianist in "Concerto" (1964). And one of the most touching stories about a classical soloist and defector appeared in TV's Johnny Staccato with John Cassavetes, but more on that when my book finally comes together! If Spy Vibers are interested in learning more about Van Cliburn specifically, check out Moscow Nights: The Van Cliburn Story--How One Man and His Piano Transformed the Cold War by Nigel Cliff. You can find lots of Cliburn in Moscow DVDs (and more) at VAI Music. And Cliburn memorabilia from Russia is often found on eBay. If you are interested in the Berlin classical music scene, check out the DVD Classical Music and Cold War: Musicians in the GDR. One of my personal faves about pianist Glenn Gould's Soviet tours is called Russian Journey. Below: Russian books circa 1950s-1960s, Nigel Cliff book cover.

First Poster for NO TIME TO DIE, Daniel Craig's Last Outing as James Bond

By doubleosection.blogspot.com
Published On :: Sat, 05 Oct 2019 18:04:00 +0000

I've never quite understood the concept of "James Bond Day" (or "Global James Bond Day?"). But maybe that's because since I was 11, I don't think there's been any day I haven't thought about James Bond! Maybe there are people out there who need reminding? Anyway, to mark this year's James Bond Day, MGM and EON have released the first poster for Daniel Craig's final outing as Bond, No Time To Die. No Time To Die, directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga and starring Craig, Rami Malek, Léa Seydoux, Lashana Lynch, Ana de Armas, Jeffrey Wright, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, Billy Magnussen, David Dencik, and Rory Kinnear, opens in the U.S. on April 8, 2020.

TSMC Halts Advanced Chip Shipments To Chinese AI Companies

Starting November 11, TSMC plans to stop supplying 7 nm and smaller chips to Chinese companies working on AI processors and GPUs. "The move is reportedly to ensure it remains compliant with US export restrictions," reports The Register. From the report: This will not affect Chinese customers wanting 7 nm chips from TSMC for other applications such as mobile and communications, according to Nikkei, which said the overall impact on the chipmaker's revenue is likely to be minimal. TrendForce further cites another China-based source who claims the move was at the behest of the US Department of Commerce, which informed TSMC that any such shipments should not proceed unless approved and licensed by its BIS (Bureau of Industry and Security). We asked the agency for confirmation. Any moves by the silicon supremo is likely to be out of caution to pre-empt accusations from Washington that it isn't doing enough to prevent advanced technology from getting into the hands of Chinese entities that have been sanctioned. As TrendForce notes, it "highlights the foundry giant's delicate position in the global semiconductor supply chain amid the heating chip war between the world's two superpowers."
