Overview
Esta novela cuenta la historia de una mujer indomable, un espíritu rebelde. Destinada a crecer como la rica heredera de un magnate de la industria textil, desde pequeña supo que era diferente, que su capacidad de ver lo que otros no veían, de conectar con los animales, la convertía en especial.
Desafió las convenciones sociales, a sus padres y maestros, y rompió cualquier atadura religiosa o ideológica para conquistar su derecho a ser una mujer libre, personal y artísticamente. Leonora Carrington es hoy una leyenda, la más importante pintora surrealista, y su fascinante vida, el material del que se nutren nuestros sueños.
Fantasiosa y excéntrica en su infancia, desafiante en su adolescencia, Leonora vivió la más turbulenta historia de amor con el pintor Max Ernst. Con él se sumergió en el torbellino del surrealismo, y se codeó en París con Salvador Dalí, Marcel Duchamp, Joan Miró, André Breton o Pablo Picasso; por Max enloqueció cuando fue enviado a un campo de concentración.
A Leonora se la confinó en un manicomio de Santander, del que escapó para conquistar Nueva York de la mano de Peggy Guggenheim. Se instaló en México casándose con el poeta y periodista Renato Leduc; aquí culmina una de las obras artísticas y literarias más singulares y geniales.
Elena Poniatowska retrata como nadie a una mujer excepcional.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An indomitable woman, a rebellious spirit... a legend. One of those novels that you simply can't miss.
This novel tells the story of an indomitable woman, a rebellious spirit. Destined to grow up as the wealthy heiress of a textile tycoon, from a young age she knew she was different, that her ability to see what others did not see, to connect with animals, made her special.
She defied social conventions, her parents and teachers, and broke any religious or ideological ties to conquer her right to be a free woman, personally and artistically. Leonora Carrington is today a legend, the most important surrealist painter, and her fascinating life, the material from which our dreams are nourished.
Fanciful and eccentric in her childhood, defiant in her adolescence, Leonora lived the most turbulent love story with the painter Max Ernst. With him he immersed himself in the whirlwind of surrealism, and rubbed shoulders in Paris with Salvador Dalí, Marcel Duchamp, Joan Miró, André Breton and Pablo Picasso; Max went insane when he was sent to a concentration camp.
Leonora was confined to an insane asylum in Santander, from which she escaped to conquer New York with the help of Peggy Guggenheim. She settled in Mexico, marrying the poet and journalist Renato Leduc; This is the culmination of one of the most unique and brilliant works of art and literature.
Elena Poniatowska portrays an exceptional woman like no one else.
