Key item features
«Hoy este viejo te hace justicia confirmándote que fue tan feliz como sobre aquellas hojas otoñales y cómplices... Es curioso que en nuestro acto inaugural y clandestino no necesitáramos palabras, solo hablamos con nuestros cuerpos incipientes, inocentes, gozos practicantes del mejor de los pecados.» Quien escribe es un hombre de más de ochenta años, que en una carta a una mujer anciana recuerda la primera experiencia sexual de los dos, cuando eran jóvenes y apenas se conocían, y este es el cuento que cierra un álbum donde se relatan las mil maneras en que los cuerpos se encuentran o se distancian. El álbum arranca con una historia de amor entre niños de doce años que se besan con los ojos abiertos y acaban casándose por despecho, sigue una conversación entre dos jóvenes que deciden descubrir sus cuerpos en vez de dedicarse a morir, y así sucesivamente, pasando por la edad madura, el matrimonio y la traición, hasta llegar a la carta conmovedora que cierra el álbum.Todo servido en la bandeja de la prosa inmensa de Mario Benedetti y acompañado por unas espléndidas ilustraciones.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
"Today, I vindicate you by confirming that I was as happy as those Fall leaves where we laid upon. It’s surprising that on that clandestine first meeting of our bodies we needed no words to communicate; we only spoke with our budding innocent bodies, trying for the first time the best of all sins."
The narrator is an eighty-year-old man who, on a letter to an elderly woman, remembers both of their first sexual experience when they were young and barely knew each other. This is the last story in a group that relates the many ways in which bodies can come together or grow apart.
This compilation of short stories starts with a love story among two teenagers who kiss with their eyes open and get married out of spite; it continues with a young couple that instead of letting themselves die, decide to discover their bodies; and so, it continues through to old age, marriage and betrayal, until reaching the last touching letter.All served by Mario Benedetti’s wonderful prose accompanied by great illustrations.
