Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. LA NOVELA DE CONCHA PIQUER UN MITO QUE DEFINIO TODA UNA EPOCA DE LA HISTORIA DE ESPANA. UNA MUJER QUE ROMPIO TODOS LOS MOLDES. POR EL RETRATISTA MAS AGUDO Y BRILLANTE DE LA LITERATURA ESPANOLA ACTUAL. Es capaz de captar los detalles minimos de personajes y objetos, y de analizar, con cuidado y sutileza, los sentimientos de las criaturas que asoman a sus textos. Ascension Rivas, El Cultural Una joven camina rapido sobre la nieve de las calles de Nueva York un dia de invierno de los anos veinte. Lleva una receta en el bolso que le permitira adquirir en la farmacia una botella de vino para celebrar la Nochebuena con unos amigos. Estamos en plena ley seca. La joven es Concha Piquer, tiene apenas dieciocho anos y lleva ya cuatro triunfando en los escenarios de Broadway, se ha visto envuelta en un homicidio y ha tenido contactos con la mafia. Llego casi sin experiencia, sin conocer mas mundo que la huerta y algun teatro de su ciudad, sin hablar otra lengua que no fuera el valenciano. Antes de volver a Espana y convertirse en simbolo de toda una epoca, deslumbra tambien en Mexico y Cuba. La nina campesina regresa envuelta en glamour y dinero, con varios amantes a sus espaldas y un hijo secreto. A partir de entonces, su vida se cruza con la de escritores como Blasco Ibanez o Garcia Lorca, toreros como Antonio Marquez, politicos, boxeadores, actores y actrices. Lejos del estereotipo de la cupletista, Concha Piquer fue mucho mas que eso o, para ser exactos, fue de todo menos eso. La historia de esta mujer moderna es tambien un retablo de una epoca de la historia de Espana, la de la posguerra y el franquismo. Y Manuel Vicent la recrea con una magistral mezcla de realidad y ficcion, y un ingenio, una finura y una ironia sin igual en la literatura espanola.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA NOVEL ABOUT CONCHA PIQUER. A MYTH THAT DEFINED AN ENTIRE ERA IN THE HISTORY OF SPAIN. A WOMAN WHO BROKE ALL MOLDS. BY THE KEENEST, MOST BRILLIANT PORTRAIT ARTIST IN SPANISH LITERATURE TODAY. He is capable of capturing the slightest details in characters and objects, of carefully and subtly analyzing the feelings of all creatures that peek through his texts. Ascension Rivas, El Cultural One winters day in the nineteen twenties, a young woman walks hastily down the snow-covered streets of New York. She has a prescription inside her purse that will permit her to buy a bottle of wine at the drugstore to celebrate Christmas Eve with some friends. Prohibition is in full swing. The young woman is Concha Piquer. She is barely eighteen and has already been a hit on the Broadway stage for four years, has gotten involved in a murder case, and has come in contact with the mafia. She arrived with almost no experience, ignorant of the world beyond the farm and the occasional theater in her hometown, speaking nothing but Valencian. Before returning to Spain and becoming the symbol of an entire age, she also dazzled Mexico and Cuba. The country girl returns engulfed in glamour and money, with several lovers behind her and a secret son. From then on, her life crosses paths with that of writers Blasco Ibanez and Garcia Lorca, matadors such as Antonio Marquez, politicians, boxers, actors. Far from the couplet singers stereotype, Concha Piquer was much more than that. Or to be exact, she was everything but. The story of this modern woman also depicts an era in Spanish history: Postwar and Francoism. And Manuel Vicent recreates it with a masterful blend of reality and fiction, as well as a kind of ingenuity, fineness, and irony unparall Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
