In Spain, very few literary critics have had the will and the ability to follow and analyze contemporary literary creation in all languages and from all European countries. For many critics, the sustained effort and the risk it entails is an insurmountable obstacle. It hasn't been, and it isn't, for Mercedes Monmany, whose insatiable curiosity and broad vision have led her to establish herself as the introducer to Spain of many of the most notable voices in European literature of our time. The list of authors and literary traditions she analyzes is extensive: literature in German, English, French, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Hebrew, Turkish, and Dutch, not to mention the Central European mosaic, the Balkans, and the Nordic countries. The result is a 1,500-page book that will undoubtedly become a reference work for literature lovers. As Claudio Magris says in the prologue to this book: Swift and lightning-fast, the falcon Mercedes sees things that others don't yet see and seizes them, making them her own, feeding like a bird of prey. However, unlike rapacious predators, Mercedes Monmany is driven by love, an extraordinarily generous love for the authors and works she discovers and falls in love with, which she makes her own by surrendering to them, giving everything of herself: her enthusiasm, her passion, the sharpness of her judgment, her fraternal closeness, her analytical intelligence, her knowledge. This is a book of literary criticism, certainly, but above all it is a book of essays, which is much more. On the Borders of Europe is also a spiritual atlas, a literary geography; a book so harmonious and poetic in its rigor is also a cultural geopolitics.
