Querido Diego te abrazo Quiela by Elena Poniatowska ES
FranceDescription:
Angelina Beloff, exiliada rusa, pintora, escribe desde la grisura, la pobreza y el frío del París de la primera posguerra a Diego Rivera, su compañero durante diez años, a quien no ha podido seguir en su regreso a México. Angelina escribe cartas amargas que el pintor, ya célebre en su tierra natal, deja sin respuesta. Elena Poniatowska ha recreado, en estas cartas imaginarias, el testimonio entrañable de una artista y amante abandonada, y con ello la saga de los tiempos idos en que los artistas eran gigantes, con todas sus virtudes y defectos. Una breve novela de gran finura.
