Synopsis
La fundadora y librera de Lata Peinada narra una iluminadora historia de vida sobre cómo se convirtió en librera y madre, tras su aclamado debut literario Las estrellas . Educada en una familia en la que los libros son &la"peligrosos para la salud , Paula sueña con tener su propia biblioteca. Este amor por la literatura la lleva a buscar una vida lejos del hogar de origen. Al otro lado del océano, primero en Barcelona y luego en Madrid, funda una librería habitada por las obras de sus autores más queridos. Para su sorpresa, tras la muerte de su madre esta vocación abre espacio a nuevos anhelos, que a ratos parecen imposibles: tener un hijo y pertenecer por fin a un lugar de forma permanente. Dividida entre labores y países, Paula encuentra en la cerámica una nueva revelación. En el jardín de Mishal, su profesora, descubre el poder de la observación paciente y el trabajo artesanal, y acaba forjando la figura de la diosa de Laussel, que coloca en el centro de su casa. Guiada por ella, por charlas con amigas y por la lectura de sus escritores admirados, desde T. S. Eliot hasta Roberto Bolaño, Natalia Ginzburg, Agota Kristof o Marta Sanz, la autora argentina y fundadora de la librería Lata Peinada nos brinda un conmovedor memoir sobre el poder transformador de la literatura, el singular oficio de librera y las distintas formas de crear y reinventar la vida. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Following her acclaimed literary debut, The Stars , the founder and owner of Spain's Lata Peinada bookstore shares the inspiring story of how she became a bookseller and a mother. Raised in a household where books were considered "dangerous to your health," Paula dreams of having her own library. Her love for literature drives her search for a new life on the other side of the ocean, where--first in Barcelona and later in Madrid--she opens a bookstore showcasing the works of her favorite authors. To Paula's surprise, the death of her mother sparks additional aspirations: having a child, feeling a sense of belonging in a permanent home. Torn between responsibilities and countries, she finds new purpose in ceramics. In the garden of Mishal, her teacher, she discovers the power of patient observation and working with one's hands. Her crowning achievement is a ceramic figure of the Venus of Laussel, which she installs in a place of honor in her home. Inspired by her conversations with friends and her beloved authors, from T. S. Eliot to Roberto Bolaño, Natalia Ginzburg, Agota Kristof and Marta Sanz, the Argentine author and founder of Lata Peinada brings us a moving memoir about the transformative power of literature, the unique profession of bookseller, and the different ways we invent and reinvent our lives., La fundadora y librera de Lata Peinada narra una iluminadora historia de vida sobre cómo se convirtió en librera y madre, tras su aclamado debut literario Las estrellas .

But Seller communication was GOOD and the item showed up, well packaged, within the delivery window. Item was well priced, and they had a series that I STRUGGLED to find elsewhere, in NEW condition. I would recommend this seller if you can't find it elsewhere, that's the best I can give them.Chillin' in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers (Manga) Vol. 1 (#305350494827)

The item was marked as delivered on May 27th to a “reception area,” even though I live in a single-family home. Clearly a USPS error. I reached out to the seller, who responded quickly and assured me the book was on the way. It finally arrived safely on June 7th. Not the seller’s fault, and I appreciate their professionalism and communication throughout. Would buy from them again.
