Las memorias de la ganadora del Premio PrÃncipe de Asturias de las Letras, «una de las más grandes escritoras en lengua portuguesa . --ABC «Tan actual y universal que no tiene nada que envidiar a la obra de autores como John Banville, Philip Roth y Paul Auster . --Jonatan Silva «Literatura pura, auténtica, Ãntegra, hecha a partir del amor a la palabra, a la vocación, al arte, a la belleza y a la creación . --Mario Vargas Llosa En esta obra póstuma e inédita, Nélida Piñon -Premio PrÃncipe de Asturias de las Letras y la primera mujer que llegó a presidir la Academia Brasileña de las Letras-, cose su testamento literario y lo convierte en una celebración de la vida donde relata su pasión por la creación, ahonda en el sentido de pertenencia a un territorio y canta su amor a la música y al arte entretejiendo episodios e recuerdos sobre sus amigos más Ãntimos: Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez, Mario Vargas Llosa, Susan Sontag o Clarice Lispector. Introduciendo retazos de su infancia, en la que las lenguas española y portuguesa se entrelazaron, y creando una sinfonÃa cultural que resuena en su vida y en su literatura, Piñon acompaña el lector por una profunda reflexión sobre la mortalidad y el poder de la invención a través de las palabras. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The memoirs of a PrÃncipe de Asturias Literature Award winner, one of the greatest writers in the Portuguese language. --ABC Pure, authentic, honest literature, made out of love for the written word, vocation, art, beauty, and creation. --Mario Vargas Llosa In this unpublished posthumous work, Nélida Piñon--recipient of the PrÃncipe de Asturias Literature Award, and the first woman who ever presided the Brazilian Literature Academy--stitches her literary testament and turns it into a celebration of life, where she recounts her passion for creation, delves into a sense of belonging somewhere, and sings her love for music and art, weaving episodes and memories of her closest friends: Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez, Mario Vargas Llosa, Susan Sontag, and Clarice Lispector. Introducing scraps from her childhood, when the Spanish and Portuguese languages intertwined, creating a cultural symphony that resonates with her life and work, Piñon takes the reader through a deep reflection about mortality and the power of invention through words.
