Flush: Biografía de un perro
by Virginia Woolf Iratxe López de MunáinUna de las novelas más originales e inolvidables de la literatura contemporánea Ilustrada por Iratxe López de Munáin «Un verdadero clásico canino.»Justine Hankins, The Guardian «Una obra maestra.»New York Herald Tribune 80 ANIVERSARIO DE VIRGINIA WOOLF Flush es un cocker spaniel del más alto linaje, que además de estar dotado de todas las virtudes que establece el Spaniel Club para un ejemplar de abolengo posee el don de captar las emociones humanas. Con esas cualidades, y no siendo más que un cachorro, es regalado a la primera poetisa de Inglaterra, la brillante, la desventurada, la adorada Elizabeth Barrett, por quien rápidamente sentirá un amor incondicional, cuyo noviazgo con el poeta Robert Browning lo atormentará de celos, a quien seguirá hasta Italia para conocer la ebriedad de la libertad -y del libertinaje- y a cuyo lado envejecerá tras haber vivido la vida más plena que un perro jamás pudo soñar. A partir de la correspondencia de Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Virginia Woolf reconstruyó la biografía de su perro con viveza, rigor y una gran dosis de humor, logrando una de las novelas más encantadoras de la literatura contemporánea. La crítica ha dicho...«Nunca la vida de un perro dio para tan bonitas palabras como las que le dedica Virginia Woolf.»Víctor González, Libros y literatura «Flush no es tanto un libro escrito por una amante de los perros como un libro escrito por alguien que quisiera ser un perro.»Quentin Bell, Virginia Woolf: una biografía «A partir del escasísimo material del que disponía, Woolf produjo unconmovedor retrato del célebre cocker y le confirió una personalidad real y vívida [...]y lo hizo con su estilo más encantador.»Kirkus Reviews«La más victoriosa infiltración de la imaginación humana en la sensibilidad perruna. [...] El resultado es un libro de gracia y encanto irresistibles.»Spectator «Una obra maestra. [...] No es una obra de ficción porque tiene la sustancia de loreal y verdadero. No es una biografía porque posee la libertad y el arte de la ficción.»New York Herald Tribune Books «La historia del spaniel, que se desarrolla en Londres y Florencia, es un ensayo social al tiempo que la biografía de un perro. En resumen, un verdadero clásico canino.»Justine Hankins, The Guardian«Virginia Woolf es dios, nadie ha escrito mejor.»Milena Busquets
