Set in early twentieth-century Spain, the events she chronicles take place in the village of Simancas, site of a castle that houses a famous archive. Leticia, the archivist, and his wife—Leticia's piano teacher—are the actors in this drama, which is rehearsed in a purely introspective way. The seduction resembles that of a thirteen-year-old girl in Dostoyevsky's The Possessed, but it does not result in Leticia's mental or physical destruction. Rather, it acts as the catalyst for a deep questioning and exploration of life.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49648754852113,"sku":"GOR012286829","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50625319534865,"sku":"GOR002406918","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53677505282321,"sku":"CIN0803263600VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0803263600.jpg?v=1751138683"},{"product_id":"maravillas-district-book-rosa-chacel-9780803263536","title":"The Maravillas District","description":"Rosa Chacel belongs to that brilliant generation of artists that moved to the cultural vanguard in the 1920s and 1930s: Garc a Lorca, Bu uel, Dali, Alberti, Guill n, Aleixandre. As a young artist-a sculptor and writer-she participated in the intellectual ferment of Madrid during those decades. But the victory of fascism in the late thirties erased Chacel's works and the works of other women from the cultural memory until recently. In the interim Chacel was exiled in Brazil and Argentina. At last her work has returned to light. So has Chacel herself. The Maravillas District (Barrio de maravillas, 1976) is the first novel in an autobiographical trilogy and the finest of Chacel's works to date. Proustian in its use of memory (yet unique in style), it traces two girls' discovery of their artistic and intellectual vocations, focusing less on the social and cultural obstacles to women's self-realization--though these are present-than on the invicible impulses of imagination and intellect in these girls' lives and on the enabling power of their mutual support. In its English translation it will rank alongside Virginia Woolf's and Sylvia Plath's autobiographical works depicting the woman artist's experience. A translator, literary critic, and associate editor of Caliban, d. a. d mers lives in Madrid. Susan Kirkpatrick is a professor of Spanish at the University of California, San Diego. Her publications include Las Romanticas: Women and Subjectivity in Spain, 1835-1850 (1989).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007338840337,"sku":"NIN9780803263536","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51343157887249,"sku":"GOR010876050","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51409676304657,"sku":"GOR006093609","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0803263538.jpg?v=1751043297"},{"product_id":"dream-of-reason-book-rosa-chacel-9780803263642","title":"Dream of Reason","description":"A masterpiece of modernist fiction about one man’s search for meaning, Dream of Reason (La sinrazón) reveals Rosa Chacel as an intellectual and literary innovator whose work stands alongside that of Joyce, Proust, and Woolf. This meditative novel, grounded in the thinking of Spain’s great modern philosopher Ortega y Gasset, unfolds as the journal of a bourgeois chemist who makes his way in Buenos Aires just before and during the Spanish Civil War. Tracing his relationship with three women, Santiago Hernández explores the power of his own intentions and the limits of human reason. His introspective experiment, set against the background of world-altering events, documents the workings of a self-absorbed mind speculating on the inseparability of self and circumstance and is a brilliant enactment of how, from such tensions, narrative emerges.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007371837713,"sku":"NIN9780803263642","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0803263643.jpg?v=1751200891"},{"product_id":"memorias-de-leticia-valle-5-lecturas-espanolas-contemporaneas-book-rosa-chacel-9788484894582","title":"Memorias de Leticia Valle: 5 (Lecturas Espanolas Contemporaneas)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51674472415505,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51674472710417,"sku":"GOR005666969","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52955425472785,"sku":"GOR008798402","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8484894584.jpg?v=1751351283"},{"product_id":"two-confessions-book-rosa-chacel-9781438457307","title":"Two Confessions","description":"Following the defeat of the Second Spanish Republic, Mar a Zambrano (1904-1991) and Rosa Chacel (1898-1994), two of Spain's most gifted intellectuals and writers, wrote compelling meditations on the meaning of confession in life and literature.
