Synopsis "The Bell jar"

One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels

A beautifully designed Harper Perennial Deluxe Edition of this haunting American classic: a realistic and emotional novel about a woman battling mental illness and societal pressures written by the iconic American writer Sylvia Plath.

“It is this perfectly wrought prose and the freshness of Plath’s voice in The Bell Jar that make this book enduring in its appeal.” — USA Today

The Bell Jar chronicles the crack-up of Esther Greenwood: brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, and successful, but slowly going under—maybe for the last time. Sylvia Plath masterfully draws the reader into Esther’s breakdown with such intensity that Esther’s neurosis becomes completely real and even rational, as probable and accessible an experience as going to the movies. Such deep penetration into the dark and harrowing corners of the psyche is an extraordinary accomplishment and has made The Bell Jar an enduring classic.

Sylvia Plath (Boston, October 27, 1932-London, February 11, 1963) was an American writer and poet. Considered one of the practitioners of the confessional poetry genre, her most famous works are her poetry collections The Colossus and Ariel and her semi-autobiographical novel The Bell Jar, published under the pseudonym "Victoria Lucas" four months before her suicide. She was married to the poet Ted Hughes, who after her death took charge of the editing of her complete poetry. In 1982, she won a posthumous Pulitzer Prize for her Collected Poems.
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Plath studied at Smith College in Massachusetts and, after receiving a Fulbright Scholarship, at Newnham College in Cambridge.

Hermosa edición de esta novela de Plath, advertencia eso sí que no es la misma que aparece en la imagen, pero a mi juicio es mas bonita.

Es diferente la portada pero es más bonita, aunque llego el libro un poco deteriorado, sin el plástico protector y con algunas hojas semi dobladas. En todo caso, es un buen ejemplar.
