Cuentos Orientales
Professor Marguerite Yourcenar
El mitico Oriente de la mano de una de las escritoras mas importantes del siglo XX se descubre a traves de la esencia de los cuentos legendarios de lugares como Grecia, Asia y los Balcanes. Un viejo pintor que desaparece en el mar que acaba de dibujar; un heroe griego que seduce a las mujeres y las olas, el destino de quien ve a las nereidas; el oscuro poder de la sombra, la diosa Kali, que se entrega a cualquier hombre y nunca sonrie; o el amor loco de una mujer por el asesino de su marido. Pasiones, secretos y sabiduria se suceden creando un clima donde no hay culpables ni victimas, tan solo la vida y su inmenso misterio. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Marguerite Yourcenar, one of the most eminent writers of the twentieth century, takes us on a journey of discovery where the mythical Orient is revealed through legendary stories from places like Greece, Asia, and the Balkans. An old artist disappears into the ocean he just finished painting; a Greek hero who seduces women and waves alike, lives the destiny of those gifted with the ability to behold sea-nymphs; the goddess Kali, ruler of the dark power of shadows, gives herself to any man but never smiles; the mad love of a woman for her husband’s murderer. Passions, secrets, and wisdom come together to create a universe free of culprits and victims, where only life and its unfathomable mystery exist.
