Notes

Description
"Un viaje apasionante por la vida y la trayectoria literaria de un autor fundamental. Mario Benedetti es uno de los escritores contemporáneos en español más conocidos y queridos. Narrador, dramaturgo, crítico literario, consiguió, sobre todo con sus relatos y sus poemas, convertirse en uno de los autores más leídos a ambos lados del océano por varias generaciones. Sus versos se comparten, se leen, se recuerdan, se cantan... Hoy, cuando celebramos el centenario de su nacimiento, la edición revisada y actualizada de esta biografía esencial nos contagia el entusiasmo de Benedetti y su lúcido pesimismo, su coraje y su compromiso, su constancia y su honestidad. Hortensia Campanella nos enseña la completa dimensión del hombre que está detrás de una obra literaria sin igual. Un mito discretísimo ilumina todas las aristas de este escritor humilde, al que le gustaba estar alejado de homenajes y fastos pero que nos ha legado una obra universal como pocas. En palabras de la autora, "la vida y la obra de Mario Benedetti conservan una armonía especial que recae como un influjo, como una fuerza, como un regalo, sobre los lectores"." --,Provided by publisher.
