by Aroa Moreno Dur?n (Author), Ana Jaren (Author)

La primera biografía ilustrada de Almudena Grandes: un hermoso homenaje de Aroa Moreno Durán y Ana Jarén a una de las autoras más queridas de la literatura española.

Pocas escritoras de finales del siglo XX y principios del XXI han sido más leídas, han aunado tantos premios, crítica y lectores y han suscitado tal admiración y amor como Almudena Grandes. Lectora voraz, Almudena escribió para que su generación lograra ser tan moderna como lo había sido la de sus abuelas durante la Segunda República. Empeñada en recuperar las huellas de un pasado oculto por la dictadura, investigó, descubrió y ficción ó los márgenes de un país olvidado, haciendo de la memoria el eje central de su obra literaria y convirtiéndose en una rastreadora de personajes y de historias. Pero Almudena no solo tenía el secreto de la literatura, sino que supo acertar con la vida para mantener siempre la alegría intacta. Estas páginas son un viaje por los años y las palabras de una mujer comprometida con su tiempo, pero, sobre todo, con los libros.
Como otras autoras de su generación, Aroa Moreno Durán creció leyendo a Almudena Grandes y tuvo la gran suerte de conocerla. En este libro reivindica su memoria y su obra y, junto con Ana Jarén, le rinde un emocionado homenaje.

«Cariño, respeto, admiración, gratitud... todo lo bueno que alguien puede sentir y hacer sentir por una persona y escritora única como Almudena Grandes, está en este libro de Aroa Moreno y Ana Jarén: su texto no habla de ella, te da la llave de su casa; sus dibujos no son retratos, son una radiografía. Con obras así, Almudena nunca será olvidada . -Benjamín Prado

«Almudena Grandes habita estas páginas de una manera certera y cierta. Asomarnos a estas estampas de su vida, caminar junto a Aroa a través de su escritura, recuperar aquella alegría y aquella mirada única: un privilegio . -Lara Moreno

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The first illustrated biography of Almudena Grandes. A beautiful tribute from Aroa Moreno Durán and Ana Jarén to one of the most beloved authors in Spanish literature.

Few writers from the late 20th and early 21st centuries have been so widely read, have amassed so many awards, critics, and readers, and have sparked such admiration and love as Almudena Grandes. Voracious reader, Almudena wrote so her generation could be as modern as her grandmothers' generation had been during the Second Republic. Determined to reclaim the traces of a past obscured by dictatorship, she researched, uncovered, and fictionalized the very margins of a forgotten country, turning memory into the axis of her literary work, so becoming a tracker of characters and stories. But Almudena not only had the secret of literature, but knew how to win at life to always keep her joy intact. These pages are a journey through the years and words of a woman committed with her time, but above all, with books.

As other authors of her generation, Aroa Moreno Durán grew up reading Almudena Grandes and had the immense fortune of knowing her. This book asserts her memory and her work, and together with Ana Jarén, pays Almudena Grandes a heartfelt tribute.
