«Fue un fenómeno que abatió fronteras. Cada país latinoamericano proponía algo, pero nadie estuvo a la altura de Gabriela Mistral». --Ida Vitale
Mistral. Una vida es la biografía más completa hasta la fecha de una poeta esencial de la literatura moderna. Elizabeth Horan, reconocida especialista en la premio Nobel, reconstruye sus pasos a partir de la lúcida revisión del archivo personal de la autora, cuya impresionante correspondencia le permite indagar en sus errancias, dolores y pasiones, pero sobre todo en su carácter incomparable. Su infancia en Elqui, sus afectos y alianzas clave, sus años como profesora en distintas ciudades de Chile, sus vínculos con Argentina, su relación íntima con Laura Rodig, su temprano contacto con Neruda y otros destacados escritores y políticos son expuestos con detalle en este proyecto colosal.
Una investigación minuciosa de largo aliento que muestra aspectos poco conocidos de la biografía de Mistral y que repasa sus vicisitudes, así como el trato con su círculo más cercano. Un título imprescindible para redescubrir a esta gran autora chilena que se revela ante todo como una persona de voluntad férrea, como alguien que supo moverse con astucia y firmeza en un mundo adverso para llegar a ser quien deseaba.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Mistral. A Life is the most complete biography to date of a poet essential to modern literature. Elizabeth Horan, an acknowledged expert on the Nobel Prize winner, reconstructs Mistral's life based on insightful research into her personal letters, a treasure trove of correspondence that reveals her musings, sorrows and passions but, most of all, her incomparable strength of character. Mistral's childhood in Elqui, her formative relationships, her years spent teaching in cities across Chile, her ties to Argentina, her close friendship with Laura Rodig, her early contact with Neruda and other renowned writers and politicians - all are covered in this comprehensive undertaking.
A breathtakingly detailed study that reveals little known aspects of Mistral's life, including the tragedies she endured and her interactions with her closest circle. An indispensable resource for rediscovering a Chilean literary giant, who emerges from these pages as a strong-willed and astute woman who learned to navigate the world's obstacles and become the person she wanted to be.
