Arturo Pérez-Reverte career transition and reflections

Overview

Spanish author and RAE academic Arturo Pérez-Reverte has announced his departure from his weekly column, ‘Patente de corso’, in the XLSemanal supplement. After 33 years and approximately 1,600 articles, the 74-year-old writer stated his decision is motivated by the passage of time and a desire to reorganize his journalistic work rather than editorial disputes. Andrés Trapiello is set to succeed him.

Alongside this professional transition, Pérez-Reverte has shared philosophical reflections regarding aging and the state of Western civilization. He has described his observations as witnessing ‘the end of a world, the end of the West, of Europe.’

Additionally, the author has addressed the risks of historical revisionism, arguing that ‘it is a grave error to look at the past with the eyes of the present.’ He emphasized that historical figures and events should be understood within the context of their own era rather than being judged by modern moral standards or contemporary ideologies.
