Una Virgen Imprudente / A Reckless Virgin [Spanish]

?Una novela divertida, terrible, hermosa.? La Stampa Una virgen imprudente es el retrato ?ntimo, delicado y lleno de frescura e iron?a de Gittel, una ni?a jud?a de doce a?os que descubre la vida en los albores de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En los a?os veinte, en los salones y las calles de La Haya, Berl?n o Amberes nadie puede prever la cat?strofe. La comunidad jud?a es un peque?o universo en el que Gittel, amante del piano y la m?sica, se mueve con curiosidad y determinaci?n. A su alrededor gira un exuberante cosmos: un padre que se sabe un fracasado; una madre col?rica que se aleja de su marido en cuanto discuten demasiado; una abuela y su fiel criada que las acogen temporalmente en Amberes tras cada huida; una baronesa extravagante que se adorna con plumas de avestruz; un banquero que le abre las puertas de su mansi?n y las de un mundo nuevo, y, sobre todo, una amiga: Lucie, a trav?s de quien descubrir? lo que es la traici?n. ?La pianista holandesa Ida Rosenheimer sobrevivi? al campo de concentraci?n de Theresienstadt y escribi? esta brillante novelacomo Ida Simons. Olvidada injustamente, ha sido ahora redescubierta. Una novela magn?fica.? " ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A Reckless Virgin is the intimate, delicate, irony-filled portrait of Gittel, a 12-year-old Jewish girl who discovers life at the dawn of World War II. In the '20s, in the salons and streets of The Hague, Berlin, or Antwerp, nobody can foresee the catastrophe. The Jewish community is a small universe in which Gittel, a piano and music lover, moves with curiosity and determination. Around her swirl the exuberant cosmos: a father who considers himself a failure; an angry mother who distances herself from her husband as they continue to argue; a grandmother and her faithful servant who takes them in temporarily in Antwerp after each escape; an extravagant baroness who adorns herself with ostrich feathers; a banker who opens the doors of his mansion and of a whole new world to her; and above all, a friend: Lucie, through whom she discovers what betrayal really is. "The Dutch pianist Ida Rosenheimer survived the Theresienstadt concentration camp and wrote this brilliant novel as Ida Simons. Unjustly forgotten, she has now been rediscovered. A magnificent novel."
