[...] Me fascina.??? --Virginie Despentes ???Una obra maestra ???nica de una escritora singular.??? -- Germ???n Gull???n ???Un libro de culto.??? -- Io Donna Esta es la historia de una mujer vital e inc???moda que desafi??? la cultura patriarcal, fascista y opresiva de su ???poca. Naci??? el 1 de enero de 1900 en una casa pobre y en una tierra a???n m???s pobre. Se llamaba Modesta y era siciliana, pero desde el principio su cuerpo y su mente reclamaron para ella una vida m???s all??? de los confines de su aldea y de su condici???n de mujer ignorante. Cuando a???n era una chiquilla, Modesta fue enviada a un convento y de all??? al palacio de unos nobles, donde su enorme talento y su inteligencia maquiav???lica le permitieron controlar la econom???a de la casa y convertirse en arist???crata gracias a un matrimonio de conveniencia, y eso sin dejar de seducir a hombres y a mujeres de toda ralea, que ser???an compa???eros fieles hasta los ???ltimos d???as de su vida. Amiga generosa, madre entregada, amante sensual... En fin, mujer capaz de saltarse con ingenio las reglas del juego de su tiempo para gozar del verdadero placer, Modesta habita las intensas p???ginas de esta novela y recorre la historia europea del siglo XX con la fuerza que distingue a los grandes personajes de la literatura universal. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The tumultuous twentieth century, told through the life of a single extraordinary woman. Rejected by a series of publishers, abandoned in a chest for twenty years, Goliarda Sapienza's masterpiece, The Art of Joy , survived a turbulent path to publication. It wasn't until 2005, when it was released in France, that this novel received the recognition it deserves. The Art of Joy centers on Modesta, a Sicilian woman born on January 1, 1900, whose strength and character are an affront to conventional morality. Impoverished as a child, Modesta believes she is destined for a better life. She is able, through grace and intelligence, to secure marriage to an aristocrat without compromising her own deeply felt values. Friend, mother, lover Modesta revels in upsetting the rules of her fascist, patriarchal society. This is the history of the twentieth century, transfigured by the perspective of one extraordinary woman. Sapienza, an intriguing figure in her own right her father homeschooled her so she wouldn't be exposed to fascist influences was a respected actress and writer who drew on her own struggles to craft this powerful epic. A fictionalized memoir, a book of romance and adventure, a feminist text, a bildungsroman this novel is ultimately undefinable but deeply necessary; its genius will leave readers breathless.
