A beautiful collection of seven short stories and a novella themed around women's voices from the author of Mend the Living and Painting Time
Maylis de Kerangal escribe con un estilo potente y abarcador, explorando a menudo los procesos fundamentales de creación y transformación. Sus narrativas se sumergen en la fisicalidad de la existencia, ya sea la construcción de puentes o el viaje de un corazón destinado a un trasplante. Posee una habilidad única para representar paisajes grandiosos y expansivos, así como los detalles íntimos de la acción humana con igual claridad. Su prosa invita a los lectores a sumergirse en la urdimbre misma de la vida y sus momentos más profundos.


A beautiful collection of seven short stories and a novella themed around women's voices from the author of Mend the Living and Painting Time
An aesthetic and existential coming-of-age novel exploring the apprenticeship of a young female painter, Paula Karst, who is enrolled at the famous Institut de Peinture in Brussels. With the attention of a documentary filmmaker, de Kerangal follows Paula's apprenticeship, punctuated by brushstrokes, hard work, sleepless nights, sore muscles, and long, festive evenings. After completing her studies at the Institute, Paula continues to practice her art in Paris, in Moscow, then in Italy on the sets of great films, all as if rehearsing for a grand finale: at a job working on Lascaux IV, a facsimile reproduction of the world's most famous paleolithic cave art and the apotheosis of human cultural expression.
