El fascinante y verdadero relato de la vida de Juan Carlos I, Rey de España. -Con Mi rey caido, Debray pasara a la historia como la gran biografa del Emerito-. -Ana S. Juarez, La Razon -Habia una vez un principe, que era encantador, pero estaba maldito. Su nombre era Juan Carlos, o Juanito para los mas cercanos. No era exactamente un principe, sino el nieto de un rey. Pero de un rey sin reino, obligado a vivir en el exilio. Su verdadero pais, el que sus antepasados borbones gobernaron durante tres siglos, es España. Tras 40 años de poder dictatorial, Franco designo, en 1969, a Juan Carlos, ese docil playboy de treinta años y diligente militar, como su sucesor. Contra todo pronostico, nuestro principe se convirtio en un animal politico, transformo la imagen de España, la salvo de un golpe de Estado en 1981 y garantizo la estabilidad democratica. Mediante traiciones y complicidades, lagrimas y satisfacciones. Porque tras la hazaña politica y el carisma se esconden tragedias personales. Entregado de niño al enemigo Franco, arrojado entre dos figuras paternas despiadadas, indirectamente responsables de la muerte accidental de su hermano menor, usurpador de su padre… El precio a pagar era alto, cuidadosamente oculto. Shakespeare no podria haberlo narrado mejor. El destierro final es incluso su apoteosis.- ¿Que puede unir a una -hija de revolucionarios- y a un rey? Tras pasar su adolescencia en España, Laurence Debray se intereso, como historiadora, por la figura de Juan Carlos I. Escribio su biografia y despues lo entrevisto en las visperas de su abdicacion, en 2014, para un documental de television. Desde entonces, no ha dejado de hablar con el y de seguir los giros de guion de su destino. Hasta visitarlo, en 2021, en Abu Dhabi, donde se refugio, convirtiendose en una figura rechazada por los españoles a raiz de sus aventuras extramatrimoniales y en un padre demasiado engorroso para el rey Felipe VI. El relato de esta atopica relacion que nos brinda Laurence Debray fascina por su virtuosismo, inteligencia, y lucidez cuando pasado y presente chocan. Estamos ante la verdadera novela de la vida de Juan Carlos, Rey de España. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The fascinating and true story of Juan Carlos I, King of Spain. “With My Fallen King, Debray will go down in history as the great biographer of the Emeritus.” -Ana S. Juarez, La Razon “There was once a prince who was charming, but was also cursed. His name was Juan Carlos, or Juanito, to those closest to him. He wasn’t exactly a prince, but the grandson of a king-of a king with no kingdom, forced to live in exile. Spain was his true country, the one his Bourbon ancestors ruled for three centuries. “After forty years of dictatorship, in 1969, Franco named Juan Carlos, that thirty-year-old-gentle playboy and diligent soldier, his successor. Against all odds, our prince became a political animal. He transformed the image of Spain, saved it from a coup in 1981 and guaranteed democratic stability. But he did it with betrayals and complicities, with tears and satisfactions. Behind that political prowess and charisma, there are personal tragedies. He was given to Franco as a child, torn between two ruthless paternal figures, indirectly responsible for the accidental death of his younger brother, usurper of his father... The price was high, and carefully hidden. Shakespeare could not have told that story better. Even his final banishment is an apotheosis.” What could possibly unite “a daughter of revolutionaries” and a king? After spending her adolescence in Spain, Laurence Debray became interested in the figure of Juan Carlos I as a historian. She wrote his biography and later interviewed him days before his abdication in 2014, for a TV documentary. Since then, she hasn’t stopped talking to him, keeping up with the twists and turns of the script of his life. She even visited him in Abu Dhabi in 2021, where he took refuge after being rejected by the Spanish people as a result of his extra
