Paperback. Condition: New. From her home in Paris, Lina recalls the story of three women whose lives unfold in the conservative city of Barranquilla in Colombia. Amongst parties at the Country Club and strolls along the promenade in Puerto Colombia, unfurls a story of sensuality supressed by violence; a narrative of oppression in which Dora, Catalina and Beatriz are victims of a patriarchal system living in and among the fragile threads of the fabric of society. In Lina's obsessive recounting of the past, this masterful novel transforms anecdotes of a life into an absolute view of the world, a profound panorama of Colombian society towards the end of the 50s.Written from personal memories and historical research, this is a novel that is both precise and poetic, a novel that immortalises-from the distant perspective of its narrator-the events that took place in a small seaside town.Distancing herself from her contemporaries of the Latin-American literary boom with a boldly feminist narrative, Marvel Moreno has created a world that both mirrors the close-up, private lives of the people of Barranquilla and the human condition itself.*WHAT NETGALLEY READERS ARE SAYING*"Just delightful.""Full of a fierce fightback against generations of misogyny and toxic masculinity. This book is powerful.""A wonderfully written and sensually feminist novel.""I'd read Moreno again like a shot.""There's something deliciously unexpected, even subversive about Moreno's prose.".…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Una novela de Marvel Moreno.Desde Paris, Lina recuerda la historia de tres mujeres cuyas vidas transcurren en la conservadora ciudad de Barranquilla. Entre fiestas en el Country Club y paseos a Puerto Colombia se desencadena una historia de sensualidad aplacada por la violencia, un relato de represion y desenfreno en que Dora, Catalina y Beatriz son solo victimas de un patriarcado alojado en las delgadas fibras de su tejido social. Fragiles, rebeldes, llenas de placer y de dolor, estas mujeres sobreviven a un mundo que se mueve entre la liberacion del instinto y la proteccion de la costumbre.En la obsesion de Lina por recordar su pasado, esta magistral novela logra transformar las anecdotas de una vida en una idea absoluta del mundo, un panorama profundo de la sociedad barranquillera de finales de los anos sesenta. De la memoria personal a la realidad historica, la estructura de este libro goza a la vez de precision y de poesia, con el saber distante de una narradora que inmortaliza desde lejos aquellas cosas que ocurrieron en esta ciudad tan cerca del mar.Con una clara distancia frente a sus contemporaneos del Boom latinoamericano, Marvel Moreno rompe con las figuras femeninas del universo mitico y narra una realidad que va desde las vidas privadas de los barranquilleros hasta una condicion de la humanidad entera. En diciembre llegaban las brisas contiene multiples voces que se tejen alrededor de las contradicciones del mundo femenino, en un universo narrativo que combate tanto las ataduras de una vida burguesa y tradicional como sus formas de representacion.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA novel by Marvel Moreno.From Paris, Lina recalls the story of three women whose lives unfold in the conservative city of Barranquilla. Amid parties at the Country Club and outings to Puerto Colombia, a story unfolds of sensuality tempered by violencea tale of repression and debauchery in which Dora, Catalina, and Beatriz are merely victims of a patriarchy embedded in the delicate thread of their social fabric. Fragile, rebellious, full of pleasure and pain, these women survive a world that oscillates between the liberation of instinct and the protection of custom.Through Linas obsession with remembering her past, this masterful novel transforms the anecdotes of a life into an absolute vision of the world, a profound panorama of Barranquilla society in the late 1960s. From personal memory to historical reality, the structure of this book possesses both precision and poetry, with the detached insight of a narrator who immortalizes from afar the events that took place in this city so close to the sea.Maintaining a clear distance from her contemporaries of the Latin American literary Boom, Marvel Moreno breaks with the female figures of the mythical universe and narrates a reality that ranges from the private lives of Barranquillas residents to the condition of humanity as a whole. The Breezes Arrived in December contains multiple voices that weave around the contradictions of the female world, in a narrative universe that combats both the constraints of a bourgeois and traditional life and its forms of representation.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Me recuerda a Anais Nin. Es muy importante que leamos novelas como esta, centradas en el deseo y la sexualidad de la mujer. -Luna MiguelSi no hubiera reivindicado su derecho al placer habria vivido dichosa o al menos tranquila hasta su muerte. Y, sin embargo, aun ahora consideraba intolerable la insatisfaccion, ese estado de letargo sexual al cual la condenaba el matrimonio con Luis. La libertad tenia un precio y ella lo estaba pagando, duramente, de la peor manera que habria imaginado, pero despues las puertas del mundo se le abririan de par en par. El tiempo de las amazonas recorre tres decadas de la vida de tres primas Gaby, Virginia e Isabel que llegan a vivir a Paris en los anos setenta. Su incesante exploracion del deseo las llevara a tomar decisiones que tendran un alto costo para sus vidas. Sus parejas, sus amantes y sus amigos forman parte de un universo narrativo que se mueve alrededor de las preocupaciones centrales de la obra de la autora: la madurez, el placer sexual, la amistad y la enfermedad. Veinticinco anos despues de su muerte, Marvel Moreno vuelve a sorprendernos con esta, su segunda y ultima novela, una historia de mujeres que se adelantaron a su propio tiempo y que rompieron las estructuras para arriesgarlo todo por la libertad.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONShe reminds me of Anais Nin. Its important that we read novels like this, centered in desire and womens sexuality. Luna Miguel If she hadnt vindicated her right to feel pleasure, she would have lived blissfully, or at least at peace until her death. And, yet, even now she considered dissatisfaction intolerable, that state of sexual lethargy she was condemned to endure in her marriage to Luis. Freedom had a price, and she was paying it, harshly, in the worst way she could have possibly imagined. But afterwards, the doors to the world would be wide open for her. The time of the Amazon runs along three decades in the life of three cousins Gaby, Virginia, and Isabel living in Paris in the sixties. Their relentless exploration of desire will lead to decisions that will exact a heavy toll on their lives. Their partners, their lovers, and their friends make up a narrative universe that revolves around the main preoccupations in the authors work: maturity, sexual pleasure, friendship, and sickness. Twenty-five years after her death, Marvel Moreno amazes us again with this, her second a final novel, a story about women ahead of their own time, who broke away from tradition in order to risk everything in the name of freedom.
