About the Book

Una emocionante novela que nos traslada al siglo XX de la mano de Florentina, abuela del autor y emigrante gallega en Buenos Aires, a la vez que nos presenta dos mundos distintos: España y Argentina.«El viaje de mi abuela desde Galicia hasta Buenos Aires fue muchísimo más largo que mis veinte horas de ómnibus; sin embargo, ese tiempo no la preparó para admitir la realidad del nuevo lugar. En el tiempo en que la conocí, todo se resumía en el viaje; la habían trasladado en un parpadeo. En un abrir y cerrar de ojos. Más bien primero un cerrar los ojos, un mantenerlos cerrados por uno o dos largos segundos, y después un abrir, y apareció Buenos Aires.»

El nieto de una gallega que emigró a Argentina a principios del siglo XX evoca la personalidad de su abuela y, con ello, su propia infancia. El autor nos ofrece un retrato mordaz de su abuela Florentina, una mujer que pasó su vida adulta en un lugar que sentía ajeno: Buenos Aires.

Eduardo Muslip describe en esta novela dos mundos: la Argentina que en el pasado siglo recibía inmigrantes de todo el planeta y una España de atraso y penurias cuyos habitantes buscaban una vida mejor en Latinoamérica.

Mediante la reconstrucción del carácter de esa abuela de armas tomar, de los recuerdos de la niñez de Florentina en Galicia y de su particular modo de hablar -a caballo entre el gallego y el castellano-, el autor realiza al mismo tiempo un exquisito ejercicio de reconstrucción de su propia memoria y de los espacios y tiempos perdidos de su pasado.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


An exciting novel in which Florentina takes the readers to the 20th century. She is the author's grandmother and a Galician emigrant in Buenos Aires; she offers a vision of two different worlds: Spain and Argentina.

My grandmother's trip from Galicia to Buenos Aires was much longer than my twenty-hour bus ride; however, that long journey did not prepare her at all to face the realities of a new place. Through the years that I lived with her, everything was summed up by the trip; they had moved her in the blink of an eye.
The author offers a harsh portrait of his grandmother Florentina, a woman who spent her adult life in a place that felt foreign to her: Buenos Aires. In the novel Eduardo Muslip describes two worlds: the Argentina that in the last century welcomed immigrants from all over the world and a Spain of backwardness and hardship whose people fled to Latin America in search of a better life. By presenting his grandmother's personality of a fierce and un apologetic woman, and her childhood memories in Galicia, the author exquisitely reconstructs of his own memory and fills in the empty spaces of his past.
