Synopsis "The Diary of Frida Kahlo: An Intimate Self-Portrait "

"A visual document, engaging the eye with a volcanic profusion of penned-and-painted imagery." --New York Times Published in its entirety, Frida Kahlo's amazing, illustrated journal documents the last 10 years of her turbulent life. These passionate, often surprising, intimate records, kept under lock and key for some 40 years in Mexico, reveal many new dimensions in the complex personal life of this remarkable Mexican artist. The 170-page journal contains the artist's thoughts, poems, and dreams--many reflecting her stormy relationship with her husband, artist Diego Rivera--along with 70 mesmerizing watercolor illustrations. Her views of love, politics, and more come into sharp focus in a kaleidoscope of creativity and thought. In his introduction, Carlos Fuentes, one of Mexico's most important writers and critics, ties Kahlo's images of pain, loss, mutilation, and transcendence to Mexico's historic cycles of revolution and reaction. Her diary is sprinkled with irony, black humor, even gaiety, and augmented with translations of the diary entries plus commentaries and photographs, this volume stands as a reminder of not only Kahlo's formidable talent, but also her resilience and courage. The text entries, written In Frida's round, full script in brightly colored inks, make the journal as captivating to look at as it is to read. Her writing reveals the artist's political sensibilities, recollections of her childhood, and her enormous courage in the face of more than 35 operations to correct injuries she had sustained in an accident at the age of 18. This intimate portal into her life is sure to fascinate fans of the artist, art historians, and women's culturalists alike.

Carlos Fuentes Macías nació el 11 de noviembre de 1928 en la entonces Ciudad de Panamá y falleció el 15 de mayo de 2012 en Ciudad de México. Fue uno de los escritores más destacados de México y una figura central del llamado “boom” de la novela latinoamericana. Plasmó en su obra una extensa reflexión sobre la historia, la identidad mexicana y el diálogo cultural entre América Latina y el resto del mundo.
Su obra abarca la novela, el cuento, el ensayo, el teatro y el guion cinematográfico. Entre sus títulos más relevantes se encuentran La región más transparente (1958), que fue su ópera prima y que lo colocó de inmediato en el foco literario; La muerte de Artemio Cruz (1962), una disección profunda de la Revolución mexicana a través de la memoria y de la técnica narrativa; y Aura (1962), una obra más breve pero igualmente icónica.
Fuentes recibió múltiples reconocimientos a lo largo de su carrera, tanto en México como internacionalmente, incluyendo el Premio Cervantes y el Premio Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras. Su estilo se caracteriza por el uso audaz del lenguaje, la experimentación narrativa y la mezcla de lo histórico con lo mítico, con lo personal y lo colectivo.
En su escritura se percibe un constante compromiso con el devenir social y cultural de México: exploró la modernidad, el mestizaje, la herencia indígena, la urbanización, el poder y la memoria. Su legado literario permanece vivo como uno de los pilares de la narrativa en español del siglo XX.
