商品簡介
A partir de la figura de George Orwell, la gran pensadora de nuestro tiempo nos insta a la reflexi鏮 en un libro urgente, hermoso y esperanzador. «En el a隳 1936, un escritor plant?unas rosas . As?comienza el nuevo libro de Rebecca Solnit, una reflexi鏮 sobre un jardinero apasionado que fue, adem嫳, la voz m嫳 importante del siglo XX frente a la mentira y el totalitarismo: George Orwell. A partir de su inesperado encuentro con aquellas rosas que Orwell cultiv?hace m嫳 de ochenta a隳s y que siguen hoy rebosantes de vida en su jard璯, la autora indaga en ese aspecto m嫳 desconocido de la vida del escritor para descubrir en qu?medida su devoci鏮 por las flores puede iluminar sus compromisos 彋icos y est彋icos como escritor y como luchador antifascista. Con su caracter疄tica capacidad para establecer conexiones inesperadas, Solnit entremezcla la vida y la obra literaria del autor de 1984, y su v璯culo con la naturaleza y el mundo de los sentidos, con otras historias como las de las rosas de la fot鏬rafa Tina Modotti, la obsesi鏮 de Stalin por hacer crecer limones en condiciones de fr甐 extremas, la Guerra Civil espa隳la, la cr癃ica de Jamaica Kincaid al colonialismo o la industria del cultivo de rosas en Colombia, y da pie a una reflexi鏮 sobre el placer, la belleza, el lenguaje, la escritura, la esperanza y la verdad como actos de resistencia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction
Finalist for the PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography "An exhilarating romp through Orwell's life and times and also through the life and times of roses." --Margaret Atwood "A captivating account of Orwell as gardener, lover, parent, and endlessly curious thinker." --Claire Messud, Harper's "Nobody who reads it will ever think of Nineteen Eighty-Four in quite the same way." --Vogue A lush exploration of politics, roses, and pleasure, and a fresh take on George Orwell as an avid gardener whose political writing was grounded by his passion for the natural world "In the spring of 1936, a writer planted roses." So be-gins Rebecca Solnit's new book, a reflection on George Orwell's passionate gardening and the way that his involvement with plants, particularly flowers, illuminates his other commitments as a writer and antifascist, and on the intertwined politics of nature and power. Sparked by her unexpected encounter with the roses he reportedly planted in 1936, Solnit's account of this overlooked aspect of Orwell's life journeys through his writing and his actions--from going deep into the coal mines of England, fighting in the Spanish Civil War, critiquing Stalin when much of the international left still supported him (and then critiquing that left) to his analysis of the relationship between lies and authoritarianism. Through Solnit's celebrated ability to draw unexpected connections, readers are drawn onward from Orwell's own work as a writer and gardener to encounter photographer Tina Modotti's roses and her politics, agriculture and illusion in the USSR of his time with forcing lemons to grow in impossibly cold conditions, Orwell's slave-owning ancestors in Jamaica, Jamaica Kincaid's examination of colonialism and imperialism in the flower garden, and the brutal rose industry in Colombia that supplies the American market. The book draws to a close with a rereading of Nineteen Eighty-Four that completes Solnit's portrait of a more hopeful Orwell, as well as offering a meditation on pleasure, beauty, and joy as acts of resistance.
