La nieve roja es una selección de siete relatos escritos por Sigismund Krzyzanowski (en español, Yiyanovski) entre 1922 y 1939: «Los dedos fugitivos», «AutobiografÃa de un cadáver», «CuadraturÃn», «El marcapáginas», «El codo sin morder», «La nieve roja» y «La hulla amarilla». En su conjunto, este primer libro que se traduce al español de este autor ruso constituye una significativa muestra de la maestrÃa única de su exquisita prosa filosófica, realista, fantástica y paradójica. Aquà están los relatos de un marcapáginas cazador de temas; la kafkiana invención satÃrica del cuadraturÃn, prodigiosa sustancia amplificadora de espacios; los fugitivos dedos perdidos del pianista Heinrich Dorn; la metafÃsica y gogolesca determinación del hombre que se querÃa morder el codo; las fantasmagóricas asociaciones lógicas de ideas e imágenes de la autobiografÃa de un cadáver leÃda por el periodista Shtamm, o la visionaria y antiutópica noticia del calentamiento global de la hulla amarilla y la odiosa solución propuesta a ese problema. Mención aparte merece el relato que da tÃtulo al libro, «La nieve roja», pues contiene una clave de lectura; nos indica cómo hay que leer todas sus obras: no son meras imaginaciones fantásticas, sino búsquedas existenciales ancladas en la realidad y la respuesta lógica y contundente del escritor a la época trágica que le tocó vivir.
