'Solar': Irremediable historicidad

¿Llegará a tiempo la energía solar sostenible?  Solar, novela de Ian McEwan trata los ribetes picarescos de la ciencia occidental, con un tema casi cósmico de trasfondo, y con una vida complicada en primer plano. De lo cósmico a lo cómico—o picaresco. El protagonista, encarnación de la ciencia actual, es un pícaro moderno, que reúne en sí todos los extremos de la condición humana: a la vez genio y estafador en el plano científico, a partes iguales iluminado, genial, deshonesto e incompetente; e impresentable, contradictorio y humano (demasiado) como persona.

English abstract: Will sustainable solar energy arrive in time? Ian McEwan's novel 'Solar' deals with the picaresque aspects of western science, with an almost cosmic subject as a backdrop, and with a complicated life on the foreground. The protagonist, an incarnation of present-day science, is a modern pícaro, who encompasses the extremes of the human condition: both a genius and a fraud as a scientist, simultaneously enlightened and incompetent; and unreliably immoral, contradictory and all too human as a human being.
