«Nunca me pude imaginar que alguien me ayudaría desde un tiempo tan lejano...».

Olvidada durante siglos, opacada por hombres artistas a los que se han atribuido los cuadros debidos en realidad a su genio, Sofonisba Anguissola fue una pintora extraordinaria que, sin formación pictórica ni conocimiento académico de la anatomía, se especializó en el retrato y el autorretrato, alcanzó un gran éxito en su época e, instalada en España, estuvo vinculada a la corte de Felipe II.

José María Merino narra en La novela posible la vida de esta pintora con todo el rigor histórico, pero también con toda la amenidad que posibilita la ficción. Y la historia de esta mujer deslumbrante y su tiempo se entrelaza en el libro con otras dos, situadas en la época actual: la del propio escritor que, durante el confinamiento, escribe un diario en el que deja constancia de esos días inciertos y de cómo se inocula en él la semilla de la fascinación por la figura de Sofonisba, y la de una bibliotecaria que encuentra también en la pintora renacentista un rincón donde refugiarse en medio de una ruptura amorosa.

En esta novela se mezclan de manera magistral los dos tiempos, el actual y el del Renacimiento, la realidad con la imaginación, la biografía con la autobiografía y la ficción, y la literatura con el arte.

 

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

 

«I could never have imagined thatsomeone would help me from such a distant time...».

 

Forgotten for centuries, overshadowed by male artists to whom her genius paintings were attributed to, Sofonisba Anguissola was an extraordinary painter who, without pictorial training or academic knowledge of the human anatomy, specialized in portraits and self-portraits; she achieved great success in her time and, while living in Spain, was linked to the court of Philip II.

 

In The Possible Novel, José María Merino narrates the life of this painter with great historical rigor, but also with all the levity that writing fiction can offer. The story of this dazzling woman and her time is intertwined with two others set in current times: that of the writer himself who, during confinement, writes a diary in which he records those uncertain days and how the seed of fascination for Sofonisba is living deep within him; and that of a librarian who finds refuge in the Renaissance painter which helps her overcome a heartbreak.

 

In this novel the two eras are masterfully joined, current times and the Renaissance, reality with imagination, biography with autobiography and fiction, and literature with art.

Very sturdy
Style: 10 Inch, Size: 172 Count (Pack of 1)
When we go camping, we use these Dixie plates a lot. They’re very sturdy and the cleanup is easy Peezy. The design is bright and cheerful are easy to use. It’s the great size for dinner plates and they also have smaller size plates as well as bowls. They’re very durable and we’ll hold up on heavy foods. We always keep a good supply on hand because when you’re on vacation, you don’t want to wash the dishes. They are great you’re using them and you throw them away or you can burn them.
