ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Growing up in a liberal and erotic environment, Artemisa discovers her potential, her body, and her senses at an early age, leading her to become the owner of the restaurant Coraz n de Lobo (Wolf Heart). Ana Clavel, author of Las Violetas son flores del deseo (Violets are Flowers of Desire), offers her readers an erotic novel, full of transgression, with impeccable writing. The author won the Gilberto Owen National Short Story Prize in 1991, the 2004 Silver Medal from the Soci t Acad mique "Arts-Sciences-Lettres" of France, and the 2005 Juan Rulfo Short Novel Prize from Radio France Internationale. Artemisa is about four years old when she catches her parents making love. They joyfully include her in the sensual pleasure: they lick her skin anointed with cream and fruit. After her parents die, the girl's stepfather lovingly, wisely, and subtly guides her toward discovering her feelings, her eroticism, and pleasure--something she will always be grateful for, even when she visits him in the hospital because he falls gravely ill and undergoes surgery toward the end of the novel. Artemisa becomes a liberal, outgoing young woman, full of a thirst for exploration, which she satisfies by going to a tourist enclave full of beaches, sun, lovers, and the delights of fine dining. There she learns these secrets and many others, develops her talents, invents, innovates, and explores, which leads her to become a great chef and open her own restaurant, called Wolf Heart. All this while she reflects on herself and her similarities to other nymph-like women: Alice Liddell, Lolita, or Little Red Riding Hood. Send feedback Side panels History Saved
