Penelope Fitzgerald

    17 de diciembre de 1916 – 28 de abril de 2000

    Penelope Fitzgerald fue una novelista, poeta, ensayista y biógrafa inglesa, celebrada por su aguda perspicacia sobre la naturaleza humana y su magistral narrativa. Con un ojo impecable para el detalle y un ingenio seco, capturó las complejidades de la vida cotidiana y las pasiones ocultas de sus personajes. Su prosa, a menudo arraigada en eventos e individuos reales, resuena con verdad atemporal y elegancia literaria. Fitzgerald dejó una marca perdurable en la literatura británica como narradora que pudo dar vida a la historia y a las vidas humanas con una sensibilidad única.
