La esclava de sor Juana Inés de la Cruz fue también, a su modo, una discípula, la primera escucha de versos, sonetos y redondillas. Una mujer mulata cuyas aventuras y peripecias nos exaltan y nos llevan a descubrir los contrastes de la Nueva España del siglo XVII.
Enamorada de la posibilidad de descifrar lo que las letras dicen juntas, Yara sigue los pasos de la madre poeta. Acata las órdenes de las monjas del convento de San Gerónimo. Oye los consejos de la tornera. Pero sobre todo, se guía por el ímpetu, por ese fuego interno que deriva siempre en la entretenida insumisión.
La esclava de Juana Inés es un relato que aviva la picardía, que se nutre de un lenguaje poético, y que rescata del olvido histórico a un personaje tan real como imaginado.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Winner of the Grijalbo - Sister Juana Cloisters Historical Novel Award.
Sister Juana Inés de la Cruz's slave was also in her own way, a disciple, the first to hear verses, sonnets, and quatrains. A mulatto woman whose adventures and unforeseen events excite us and allow us to discover the contrasts of the New Spain of the 17th Century.
In love with the possibility of deciphering what the letters say when put together, Yara follows in the steps of the mother poet. She heeds the orders of the nuns of the San Geronimo convent. She listens to the turner's advice. But, above all, she is guided by momentum, by that internal fire that always leads to entertaining mutiny.
Juan Inés's Slave is a story that fans mischievousness, nurtures poetic language, and rescues from historical oblivion a character as real as imagined.
