Javier Reverte, el amigo de Ulises

Pas encore de résumé en français · résumé original en anglais

Javier Reverte’s name is inseparable from travel writing and literature itself. Visiting the places where the writers he admires were born or lived inspired his work. For this reason, the documentary *Javier Reverte, Ulysses’ Friend* unfolds as a journey. Filmed in Madrid, Valsaín—where he spent his childhood summers—and Greece, the film follows Reverte to Athens, Missolonghi, where Lord Byron lived and died, Lepanto, associated with Cervantes, and finally Patras, where he sets sail for Ithaca. The journey frames his reflections on literature and the craft of writing, alongside memories of his career as a journalist and foreign correspondent, from Bloody Sunday in Ireland to the Balkan wars. These experiences paved the way for his full-time dedication to writing and the success of his book *The Dream of Africa*.
