Una memoria militar, la historia de la mili narrada por la pluma literaria de Antonio Muñoz Molina. A finales de los ochenta, un joven Antonio Muñoz Molina ingresó en el servicio militar obligatorio. Allí fue despojado de su cabello, de su identidad, de su nombre. Pasó a ser un J54 cualquiera en un entorno marcado por un patriotismo que veía con desapego y una intolerancia en la que no encajaba. Ardor guerrero es «una crónica memorística en la que el autor aúna su excelente y eficaz narrativa con el valor del testimonio» (El Diario Vasco). ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A military memoir—the story of conscription told through the literary voice of Antonio Muñoz Molina. In the late 1980s, a young Antonio Muñoz Molina entered mandatory military service. There, he was stripped of his hair, his identity, and even his name. He became just another J54 in an environment defined by a patriotism he viewed with detachment and an intolerance in which he did not belong. Ardor guerrero is “a memoir in which the author masterfully blends his exceptional narrative style with the power of testimony” (El Diario Vasco).
