Earlier, the Spanish media widely reported that Serra secretly hired a gunman for many years to write the first draft of the novel for him, and then he polished it into a book according to his own style. The cross of San Andres was also made with Carmen, Ksenya Goryachova Camilla and Ka amina as the background.
Literary experts point out that although the two books are "very different" in narrative skills and plot structure (Ms. Fu's novel is narrated in the omniscient third person, while Serra uses the first person), there are still as many as 65 paragraphs that are "similar or similar". Most obviously, both stories happened in La Coruna, Galicia; Everything started with the establishment of the Third Republic of Spain in 193 1. There is a hero named Hakob and a heroine who is good at playing cards.
Both Serra and Formoso have passed away, and the case is now brought to court by Ms. Fu's son, Jesus Diaz Formoso. Sierra's publisher, Planet Publishing Group, was also listed as the defendant. Formoso accused her of selling her mother's handwritten manuscript and plagiarizing it with Serra, and decided to win the prize in order to profit from it.
Media reports before the incident.
When Sierra died in 2002, she was extremely sad and honored. Spanish King Juan Carlos, Queen Sophia and Prime Minister Aznar all went to the clinic where Serra died that day to bid farewell to his body. From the next day, newspapers all over the country published articles commemorating and praising. The front page of Le Monde was titled "The Death of a Great Man", and the writer Frances Ublar said that the death of Serra marked "the disappearance of the last great Spanish writer".
Media reports after the incident
Only seven years later, the title of the newspaper has been changed to "plagiarism". However, the most damaging event to Serra's reputation behind him was the exposure of his pleading with the dictatorship. In 2004, historians discovered an internal report received by Manuel fraga, the intelligence minister of Franco's government in the 1960s. The report showed that after the Spanish writers' congress in the 1960s, Serra provided a secret report to the intelligence agencies, listing writers who could be bought, tamed or "ideologically reformed" by the government.
Serra pointed out that among the 102 signatories who signed an open letter to protest against the police's violent suppression of industrial unrest in the northern asturias mining area, 42 were party member, the Spanish Production Party. Sierra herself signed the letter of protest.
He also suggested that for most signatories, the government could make them surrender by publishing books for them or paying for them. In particular, it is suggested that the government pay special attention to Pedro Ryan EntLargo, a famous intellectual and writer, because he is a soft persimmon in the anti-Franco camp.
Serra's works are constantly censored by Franco's government, which is hard to understand. He also edited a magazine with anti-Franco content. "Serra has a complicated personality." Pere Issa, the historian who found the report, said, "At some stage in his life, he seemed to have mastered all the cards." There is evidence that Serra's whistle-blowing was not out of coercion, but active, conscious and voluntary. Isas said that Serra was obviously trying to curry favor with the fascist government in order to gain public recognition and realize its outstanding reputation.
Nobel Prize in Literature represents many excellent qualities, and his winners are not only regarded as literary masters, but also moral models. But if the above accusations are true, a writer like Serra really shames the Nobel Prize.
