Paperback. La vanidad, una eterna costumbre que se niega a desaparecer, ha competido con la belleza fisica desde tiempos remotos. Incluso en la actualidad, la apariencia exterior sigue siendo coronada como un criterio de valoracion. Se han desarrollado innumerables productos, desde cremas hasta lociones, con el fin de perfeccionar las leves imperfecciones de un rostro hermoso. Melanie Malvista no fue la primera en sucumbir a la vanidad, sino simplemente un reflejo de lo que hemos sido y continuamos siendo cuando nos miramos al espejo y priorizamos nuestro exterior en lugar de nuestro interior. En el ultimo capitulo de esta tetralogia, Wilian Arias nos transporta a un mundo en el que la belleza tiene un alto precio, no solo en terminos monetarios, sino tambien en sacrificios personales. En este contexto surge Ivania Cherryl, una mujer dotada de un talento innato para reconocer y aprovechar su propia hermosura. Su ambicion es tan desmedida como su habilidad, y llega al extremo de obligar a su hijo bastardo a competir por una corona en nombre de la belleza con la que nacio. A puertas cerradas, se asegura de que expertos en belleza lo cuiden como si fuera una criatura fragil, utilizando tratamientos y medicinas desconocidos incluso para el propio nino. Este proceso de embellecimiento se asemeja a las practicas contemporaneas de nuestras generaciones, que son capaces de pasar horas en el gimnasio para lograr un cuerpo escultural, recurriendo a productos quimicos que, a largo plazo, danan su organismo. Se preocupan obsesivamente por lucir hermosos y esteticos por fuera, pero descuidan su interior, que se vuelve vacio y antiestetico. En esta cautivadora obra, Arias nos confronta con nuestra obsesion por la belleza externa, explorando hasta que punto estamos dispuestos a llegar para alcanzarla y que consecuencias acarrea esta busqueda incansable. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
