Au fil de pages attentives, une mémoire scrute ses premiers éblouissements, ses heurts discrets, et ces instants qui, sans bruit, fondent une vie. Entre retenue et ferveur, le récit fait affleurer la légende intime d’une enfance et la persistance des premières impressions. Une méditation sensible sur ce qui demeure quand les années passent: des images, des voix, la justesse d’un regard—invitation à se laisser porter par la grâce d’une évocation simple et profonde.

Dutch painter and printmaker Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn is considered one of the greatest artists of all time. As a painter, he never considered glamorizing what he saw, and he was a master of creating extraordinary scenes with light and shadows. His paintings were unique for their ability to depict action and moods. Sadly, having a mistress and spending recklessly went far to ruin his reputation during his lifetime. Rembrandt died penniless and was buried in a pauper’s grave.

Un retrato emocionante de una de las mejores cuentistas argentinas. La escritora argentina Silvina Ocampo es una de las figuras más exquisitas, talentosas y extrañas de la literatura en español.
