La Tierra del Dulce Porvenir / The Land of Sweet Forever [Spanish]

De una de las autoras m s queridas en Estados Unidos, una colecci n p stuma de cuentos reci n descubiertos, adem s de ensayos y art culos anteriormente publicados, que nos ofrece una perspectiva fresca de la impresionante mente literaria de Harper Lee.

Harper Lee sigue siendo una figura prominente en el canon estadounidense, gracias a Scout, Jem, Atticus y los dem s personajes indelebles de su debut literario ganador del Premio Pulitzer, Matar a un ruise or, as como la versi n m s oscura de un peque o pueblo en la Alabama de finales de la d cada de 1950 que emergi entre las p ginas de Ve y pon un centinela, su nica otra novela, publicada en 2015, despu s de su redescubrimiento. Hasta ahora, sin embargo, se le conoce menos a la Harper Lee joven, a esa escritora tenaz que creaba historias esperando verlas publicadas en revistas; Lee, la vivaz neoyorquina, alabamiana y amiga de Truman Capote, y la Lee que salpic las p ginas de McCall's y Vogue con ensayos reflexivos durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX.

La tierra del dulce porvenir combina los inicios de la ficci n breve de Lee con su no ficci n subsecuente en un solo volumen para ofrecer una mirada sin precedentes al desarrollo de su inigualable voz. Cubre el territorio de la juventud de Lee, desde los patios de escuela en Alabama hasta las cafeter as y los cines del Manhattan de medio siglo, La tierra del dulce porvenir invita a tener conversaciones a n vitales sobre pol tica, igualdad, viajes, amor, ficci n, arte, el sur de Estados Unidos y lo que significa llevar una vida ocupada y creativa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From one of America's most beloved authors, a posthumous collection of newly discovered short stories and previously published essays and magazine pieces, offering a fresh perspective on the remarkable literary mind of Harper Lee.

Harper Lee remains a landmark figure in the American canon - thanks to Scout, Jem, Atticus, and the other indelible characters in her Pulitzer-winning debut, To Kill a Mockingbird; as well as for the darker, late-'50s version of small-town Alabama that emerged in Go Set a Watchman, her only other novel, published in 2015 after its rediscovery. Less remembered, until now, however, is Harper Lee the dogged young writer, who crafted stories in hopes of magazine publication; Lee the lively New Yorker, Alabamian, and friend to Truman Capote; and the Lee who peppered the pages of McCall's and Vogue with thoughtful essays in the latter part of the twentieth century.

The Land of Sweet Forever
combines Lee's early short fiction and later nonfiction in a volume offering an unprecedented look at the development of her inimitable voice. Covering territory from the Alabama schoolyards of Lee's youth to the luncheonettes and movie houses of midcentury Manhattan, The Land of Sweet Forever invites still-vital conversations about politics, equality, travel, love, fiction, art, the American South, and what it means to lead an engaged and creative life.
