Synopsis "La Amortajada (in Spanish)"

La obra fundamental de María Luisa Bombal puede contenerse en un escaso volumen, del que La Amortajada(1938) constituye, sin duda una pieza centraql. En esta singular novela se exhibe un universo onírico y mágico, en el que reaalidad y sueño se confunden. La voz narrativa de una muerte (La Amortajada) permite a la autora desplegar la vision de una vida femenina atormentada por el amor, el desencuentro y la imposibilidad de la vida.

Chilean author considered the mother of magical realism and one of the great silenced voices of the Latin American boom. At the age of twelve, following her father's death, she began her studies in Paris, where she lived until 1931. In 1933, she settled in Buenos Aires, stayed for two years at Pablo Neruda's house, and connected with the group from the Sur magazine. In 1940, she married Count Raphael de Saint-Phalle and moved to the United States, where she remained until her husband's death in 1970, when she returned to Chile. In her work, she equally utilizes realism and the supernatural to explore the female inner world, especially desire, within the context of her time's patriarchal society.
