Publicada en 1892, "Cuervo" es una novela corta del maestro Leopoldo Alas «Clarín». Este interesante relato ttiene como tema principal la hipocresía en torno a la muerte.



Resumen: 

Ángel Cuervo es un hombre robusto y desaseado que es feliz, pobre y, sobre todo, aficionado a todo lo que rodea a los difuntos. Tiene enemistad con Don Torcuato, el médico del pueblo basada en diferentes opiniones sobre la causa de la gran mortalidad que se produce en Laguna.

Cuervo, por fin, vence a don Torcuato. La huida del doctor tiene una gran significación, pues a partir de ahora ya no hay voces disidentes y críticas en la ciudad. 

El gozo de don Ángel era confrontar la muerte con su salud. Para él la muerte no tiene ningún valor, pues es lo contrario a la vida.

No es gratuita la popularidad del autor y en este cuento confirma el porqué; En principio, desde la elección del seudónimo del protagonista demustra el buen manejo del humor negro compartido con la orginalidad del tema y el correcto manejo descriptivo tanto de personajes como de situaciones ambientes que las rodean. En resúmen, es un divertido,disfrutable y recomendable cuento para leer.

Para mí encontrar esta historia ha sido todo un descubrimiento porque desconocía totalmente su existencia. Conozco al autor pero no había oído hablar de esta obra. Así que ha sido una sorpresa conocerla.

Dividida en 11 capítulos, está ambientada en Laguna, un pueblo de España. Y el protagonista es Ángel Cuervo, un personaje bastante peculiar.

Me ha gustado conocer a este personaje, la enemistad que tiene con un doctor y como se trata todo el tema de la muerte durante toda la obra.

Sin duda, todo un descubrimiento que recomiendo.

Clarín demuestra que es uno de los mejores escritores de su época con una elevada y concisa prosa que hace de la novela corta un arte.
