Memorias de una mujer libre

Exceptional document of this time in which the writer, the woman and the thinker converge. Nuria Amat offers a daring confession that covers all the periods of her life, from a family environment of relevance in the cultural life of the country to the present, and she has turned her memories into a disturbing, emotional, scathing and funny. In many ways, Amat was ahead of her own time from her youth, and so she remains to this day. Committed to her time, she has been more than a witness to the events she has had to live through, from her childhood in times of Franco's dictatorship, to the convulsive recent history of Catalonia. Hence, these memoirs can also be read as the chronicle of a generation that, guided by higher moral imperatives, forever changed Spain and its literature. Likewise, she honors her ancestors by having established a bridge between Spanish and Latin American literature and its protagonists, for whom she reserves a prominent place. All these personal and collective stories of a novelist, columnist and also a political activist end up shaping a kaleidoscope as rich in anecdotes as it is in the analysis of the small miseries of men, the painful rivalries of women, the betrayals of friends. And in which the firm determination of the writer always stands out to remain faithful to her personality and lead her life through the channels of her own will.
