Jardín de las delicias, El José Luis de Villar Iglesias ebook
El célebre naturalista francés Buffon señaló en su día que «el discurso de la naturaleza no es más que la naturaleza transformada en discurso». María Negroni se propone rastrear las representaciones de la naturaleza—o sumergirse en la naturaleza escrita—en las que la unión de lo visible con lo enunciable produce un conjunto dotado de sentido. Así, recrea con inmenso lirismo los sueños de los clásicos griegos o medievales, el fervor naturalista que atestiguan los viajes de exploración y «descubrimiento» del Renacimiento, y la fascinación que, durante el Siglo de las Luces, culminó con la Enciclopedia. Un viaje sugestivo y cautivador, desde los tiempos de Lucrecio hasta la actualidad, y un homenaje a la naturaleza como una de las creaciones literarias más fabulosas. When 22-year-old Elizabeth Brenner lands in New Jersey with her 15-month-old daughter, Lotty, she doesn’t know a soul. And she prefers it that way. She’s struggling with her own demons—her family in Utah, who essentially threw her out, her ex-boyfriend Evan and father of her baby, and just enough money so that she won’t have to work for a little while. Three-and-a-half years later Elizabeth is running out of money and needs a job. But what can she do without an education or any real work experience? When a job opening for a Bookmobile driver at her local library appears, she applies and gets the job. Now she begins to make friends: Estelle, a 95-year-old woman with a 70-year-old secret, Harper, a 16-year-old high school drop-out who isn’t homeless but might as well be, and Sabrina, a pregnant mother whose secret is so big that she won’t even tell her husband. As Elizabeth juggles all of her new friends’ needs, she meets her neighbor Jeff, and then she finds herself doing something she swore she would never do again... Full of surprising people with surprising stories, The Natural Order of Things will make you laugh and cry, ponder and hope.
