Reviews
Reseñas: « La libertad es terapéutica , escribió alguien en la pared de un manicomio clausurado. Aquella inscripción se proyecta sobre el libro extraordinariamente libre, tan bien concebido como ejecutado, de Mar García Puig. Un potente testimonio de su experiencia de locura puerperal . Un tapiz delirante y cuerdo que se dispara en varias direcciones».--Enrique Vila-Matas «Sobre la locura de las madres, sus debilidades y sus fortalezas, a menudo dos caras de la misma moneda. Un libro erudito, tierno y duro, y honesto siempre».--Katixa Agirre «Un libro único, valiente y asombroso que anuda lo íntimo y lo histórico, lo familiar y lo mitológico, poesía y política, amor y dolor, locura y lucidez, para iluminar con delicadeza una de las caras más oscuras de la maternidad».--Isaac Rosa «Una historia íntima que es a su vez una historia política de esa estruendosa explosión de afectos que significa la maternidad. Mar García Puig nos regala sus poderosas experiencias como madre primeriza en el Congreso de los Diputados, y con ellas traza un vínculo con las barrigas llenas de la literatura, el teatro, la filosofía y el arte a lo largo de los siglos. Leyendo La historia delos vertebrados , se me hace imposible no acordarme de la escritura memorística de Deborah Levy o Maggie Nelson».--Luna Miguel
Synopsis
En la lista de los mejores libros del 2023 de Babelia Una novela sobre la ansiedad y el poder sanador de las historias de las mujeres que nos precedieron. Un viaje por heridas personales y luchas universales a través del arte y la literatura. «Un libro híbrido y maravilloso, tan monumental como íntimo. Sus palabras resuenan simultáneamente en nuestra sensibilidad política y poética: con La historia de los vertebrados todas las locas entendemos las razones de nuestra melancolía y nos ponemos a cantar».--Marta Sanz «El 20 de diciembre de 2015 me convertí en madre y enloquecí. [...] Ese mismo día, España votaba en las primeras elecciones en las que participaba un nuevo partido [...], y la esperanza del cambio planeaba sobre la jornada. Al anochecer, cuando yo contaba contracciones en la sala de dilataciones, el país contaba escaños. Y ambas cuentas confluyeron en una nueva vida para mí, porque uno de esos escaños iba a ser mío. El mismo día del nacimiento de mis hijos, me convertí en diputada del Congreso». El que debería haber sido el día más feliz en la vida de la narradora de esta novela se convierte en el inicio de una historia de locura. La ansiedad se apodera de ella y el peso del mundo cae sobre sus hombros por partida doble: debe cuidar a sus mellizos recién nacidos y dar voz a los que han confiado en ella. Esta historia indaga en una herida personal para conectar con luchas universales, y es un viaje a través del arte, la literatura, la mitología y la historia de la medicina. Con maestría, Mar García Puig convierte la experiencia personal en un relato que nos habla de todas las mujeres que alguna vez han sentido que la cordura las abandonaba y de todos los hombres que las han silenciado amparados por siglos de ciencia, mitos y política. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Listed on Babelia's Best Books of 2023 A novel about anxiety and the healing power of the stories of the women who came before us. A journey through personal wounds and universal struggles through art and literature. "On December 20, 2015, I became a mother and lost my mind... That very same day, Spain was holding the first elections that included a new party... and the hope for change soared over that day. By nightfall, when I was counting contractions in the delivery room, the country was counting seats. And both counts converged in a new life for me since one of those seats would be mine. The day my sons were born, I became a congresswoman." What was supposed to be the best day in the life of the novel's narrator becomes the beginning of an insane story. Anxiety takes hold of her and the weight of the world falls twofold onto her shoulders: she must take care of her new-born twins and be a voice for those who put their trust in her. This story probes into a personal wound to make a connection with universal struggles. It is a journey through art, literature, mythology, and the history of medicine. Done masterfully, Mar García Puig turns a personal experience into a tale that speaks of all the women who have felt as if they were losing their sanity and all the men that silenced them, sheltered by centuries of science, myth, and politics., En la lista de los mejores libros del 2023 de Babelia Una novela sobre la ansiedad y el poder sanador de las historias de las mujeres que nos precedieron.

    Book arrived today, 2 days before deadline given by the seller. Well-packaged & in good condition. Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.

    Seller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
