Love Training encapsulates Andrés Neuman’s work as a poet, spanning two decades in a single unified collection. The book is divided into three sections that complement and respond to each other. The first, “Love Training,” focuses on family, loss, relationships, desire, and a sense of anchoring in the world. The second, “Fictions of Sight,” is concerned with questions of perception, perspective, language and creativity. The third, “I Don’t Know Why,” is a whimsical set of interconnected poems that ask unanswered questions, serving as a kind of coda.   While Andrés Neuman is a rightly celebrated and widely translated novelist, he is also a lucid—and quite prolific—poet. Love Training is the first volume to make his sensitive, incisive poems available in English.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49743107522833,"sku":"NGR9781646052684","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51044807442705,"sku":"NIN9781646052684","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52129708146961,"sku":"NLS9781646052684","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52946938331409,"sku":"CIN1646052684G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1646052684.jpg?v=1750961184"},{"product_id":"hasta-que-empieza-a-brillar-until-it-begins-to-shine-book-andrs-neuman-9788410496279","title":"Hasta que empieza a brillar \/ Until It Begins to Shine","description":"\u003cb\u003eEn la lista de los mejores 50 libros del 2025 de Babelia\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e EL GANADOR DEL PREMIO ALFAGUARA VUELVE A LA NOVELA CON LA VIDA DE MARÍA MOLINER EN EL 125 ANIVERSARIO DE SU NACIMIENTO\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e «María Moliner hizo una proeza con muy pocos precedentes: escribió sola, en su casa, con su propia mano, el diccionario más completo, útil y divertido de la lengua castellana». --\u003cb\u003eGabriel García Márquez\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e «Andrés Neuman nos revela la literatura que habita en un diccionario y en la vida de su creadora, acercándonos a un personaje fabuloso y haciéndole justicia a una rebelde en tiempos oscuros, tan sutil como radical». --\u003cb\u003eJazmina Barrera\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Solemos identificar a María Moliner con su diccionario, «el más completo, útil y divertido de la lengua castellana», según García Márquez. ¿Pero por qué se sentó a escribirlo a los cincuenta años, en plena dictadura franquista? ¿Cómo pudo completar, prácticamente sola, el diccionario de autora más importante de todos los tiempos?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eHasta que empieza a brillar\u003c\/i\u003e cuenta la historia íntima de María Moliner, partiendo de una atractiva premisa literaria: narrar de cuerpo entero a la protagonista a través de su vínculo con la lengua.
