Synopsis "El Olvido de sí (in Spanish)"

El éxito deforma nuestra visión de la realidad y, desde luego, la apreciación de nosotros mismos. A lo largo de mi vida he visto a menudo a las gentes del mundo caminando en una dirección y a mí en la contraria. Porque mientras el mundo busca fama, yo llevo treinta años buscando anonimato; ellos buscan riqueza y poder, yo, en cambio, pobreza y debilidad; todos quieren ser grandes, por mi parte elijo la pequeñez; no hay quien no desee triunfar, yo perder. Prefiero los últimos puestos a los primeros, la vida oculta a la pública y la humillación al encumbramiento. Por todo ello veo a menudo a las gentes del mundo caminando en una dirección y a mí en la contraria. Pero no soy el único; hay otros conmigo, solitarios todos, todos locos. Y el primero de la fila es el propio Jesucristo: el más loco de todos. Narrado en primera persona, El olvido de sí describe detalladamente la aventurada y aventurera vida del vizconde francés Charles de Foucauld (1858-1916), religioso y viajero, así como su camino de desprendimiento y búsqueda espiritual.

Pablo d'Ors (Madrid, July 1, 1963) is a Catholic priest and Spanish writer

Pablo d'Ors was born in Madrid in 1963, into a family of artists, and was raised in a German cultural environment. He is the grandson of the essayist and art critic Eugenio d'Ors, son of Juan Pablo d’Ors Pérez-Peix, a humanist doctor, and María Luisa Führer. He is a disciple of the monk and theologian Elmar Salmann.2

After graduating in New York and studying Philosophy and Theology in Rome, Prague, and Vienna—where he specialized in German studies—he earned his doctorate in Rome in 1996,2 under the guidance of his mentor Elmar Salmann, with a thesis titled "Theopoetics: Theology of the Literary Experience". He was ordained a priest in 1991,2 and assigned to the Claretian mission in Honduras, where he carried out evangelizing and social work.

Back in Spain, he combined his pastoral work—as a parochial coadjutor initially and as a university and hospital chaplain later—with teaching as a professor of Dramaturgy and Theological Aesthetics at various higher education centers in Spain and Argentina. After meeting Jesuit Franz Jalics, in 2014 he founded the association "Friends of the Desert", aimed at deepening and spreading the contemplative dimension of Christian life. Shortly thereafter, he was appointed advisor to the Pontifical Council for Culture by express designation of Pope Francis.
