Mediante veintitrs cartas dirigidas a su amigo y confidente Germn Arciniegas a lo largo de treinta aos Reyes describe de manera viva y con detalles pintorescos el coraje notable y la imaginacin ilimitada de una nia que crece con nada. Emma Reyes era una nia ilegtima criada en una habitacin sin ventanas en Bogot sin agua ni inodoro y que sobreviva nicamente de su ingenio para mantenerse a ella misma y a su hermana. Abandonada por su madre ambas nias se son acogidas por un convento catlico que albergaba a 150 nias hurfanas donde lavaban ollas planchaban y reparaban la ropa fregaban pisos limpiaban baos cosan prendas y telas decorativas para las monjas y vivan con temor al Diablo. Analfabeta y sin saber nada del mundo exterior Emma escap a los diecinueve aos estableciendo una carrera como artista y forjando amistades con Frida Kahlo y Diego Rivera as como con artistas e intelectuales europeos. El retrato de su infancia que surge de este relato clarividente inspira en el lector un asombro especial hacia la deslumbrante vida de una talentosa escritora cuyo talento permaneci oculto por demasiado tiempo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Startling and astringently poetic. The New York Times An extraordinary account in the tradition of The House on Mango Street and Angelas Ashes of a Colombian womans harrowing childhood defined by uprootedness and migration. Emma Reyes was an illegitimate child raised in a windowless room in Bogot with no water or toilet and only ingenuity to keep her and her sister alive. Abandoned by her mother she moved with her sister to a Catholic convent where she scrubbed floors and mended garments for the nunsand lived in fear of the Devil. Illiterate and knowing nothing of the outside world she escaped at age nineteen eventually establishing a career as an artist befriending the likes of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera as well as European artists and intellectuals and being encouraged in her writing by Gabriel Garca Mrquez. Comprised of letters written over the course of thirty years this astonishing memoir describes in painterly detail the remarkable courage and limitless imagination of a young girl growing up with nothing. Discovered only after Reyess death it reveals a gifted writer whose talent remained hidden for far too long. show more
