Un exquisito despliegue intelectual - Great Book -

Este libro no es lectura liviana. Es pesado y algo oscuro. Pero el contenido es magnifico. Cada espacio esta conectado elegantemente y la narracion usa el español como solo German Espinosa puede hacerlo. Con innumerables referencias historicas y hermosas descripciones, Espinosa nos traslada facilmente, desde la Cartagena colonial hasta la Europa renacentista, mientras Genoveva Alcocer sufre del afortunado privilegio de ser iluminada en una sociedad oscurantista. Si nunca ha leido a Espinosa, le recomendaría leer primero los "Cuentos Completos." In a dark, heavy, and sometimes slow story, German Espinosa developed a magnificent novel. The multiple pieces of the puzzle are softly connected using a rich and descriptive Castellano (for the spanish version.) In 300+ pages with great historical references, Espinosa takes us to a journey of intelectual achievement by Genoveva Alcocer - a true renaissance woman in the static world of Colonial Latin America. If you do not know German Espinosa, I'll suggest you to start with his "short-stories". He will quickly grow on you, and the next obvious step will be to read La Tejedora de Coronas.
