About this product
Product Information
Carmen Boullosa ha sido galardonada con el Premio Excelencia en las Letras José Emilio Pacheco 2023, otorgado por la Feria Internacional de la Lectura de Yucatán (FIley) y UC-Mexicanistas. Finalista de la IV Bienal de Novela Vargas Llosa «Si fuera verdad (definitivamente no lo es) que Adán fue creado de polvo y un soplo, al primero lo acarreó el Ángel de la Muerte, y el soplo que lo insufló, por lo tanto, fue de pavor y odio.» Y si todo lo que se nos ha contado sobre el Paraíso fuera al revés? Frente a lo que pareciera un manuscrito apócrifo que contiene diez libros y 91 pasajes, Eva decide contar su versión: ni fue creada a partir de la costilla de Adán, ni es exacto que fuera expulsada por la manzana y la serpiente, ni la historia de Abel y Caín es la que cuentan, ni la del Diluvio, ni la de la Torre de Babel... Con una brillante prosa, Carmen Boullosa le da una vuelta de tuerca al libro del Génesis para desmontar la figura masculina y reconstruir el mundo, el origen de la gastronomía, la domesticación de los animales, el cultivo de la tierra y el placer, a través de la mirada femenina. A partir de esta exploración, a veces divertida y otras dolorosa, El libro de Eva hace un repaso por las historias que nos han contado y que han ayudado a fomentar (y cimentar) la absurda idea de que la mujer es compañera, complemento y hasta accesorio del hombre, lo que abre la puerta a la violencia criminal contra las mujeres. Boullosa las desmiente y las transgrede en esta novela feminista, fundacional y desfachatada. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "If it were true (it definitely is not) that Adam was created of dust and a single breath, the first was carried by the Angel of Death, and the breath that gave him life, therefore, was one of dread and hatred." What if everything they've told us about the Garden was the other way around? Faced with what appears to be an apocryphal manuscript containing ten books and 91 passages, Eve decides to tell her version: she was neither created from Adam's rib, nor is it exact that she was expelled by the apple and the serpent, nor is story they tell of Abel and Cain true, neither that of the Flood, nor that of the Tower of Babel... With brilliant prose, Carmen Boullosa gives a twist to the book of Genesis to dismantle the male figure and rebuild the world, the origin of gastronomy, the domestication of animals, the cultivation of land and pleasure, through the feminine gaze. Based on this exploration, sometimes fun and other times painful, The Book of Eve takes a tour through the stories they've told us and which have helped to foster (and cement) the absurd idea that woman is the companion, complement, and even accessory to man, which opens the door to criminal violence against women. Boullosa refutes and breaks them in this feminist novel, foundational and brazen.

Reviews
«Los herederos de Anna Karenina y otras historias de Tolstoi (que saben que no son exactamente humanos) se mezclan con las creaciones de Carmen Boullosa, que saben que son reales, y con la revolución rusa. Un libro encantadoramente original y disfrutable: literatura rusa vista a través de ojos latinoamericanos y transformada en algo totalmente nuevo.» -Salman Rushdie (sobre El libro de Ana) «Mezcla historia, ficción y cuentos de hadas. En la tradición de escritores latinoamericanos en la línea de Roberto Bolaño, Jorge Luis Borges y Clarice Lispector, Boullosa desplaza los límites de la misma ficción en una novela y menea la naturaleza misma de la ficción literaria... una delicia sorpresiva.» -Leah Rodríguez (sobre El libro de Ana) «Cervantes [...] logró que don Quijote se recuperase al instante de algunas palizas bestiales, como si fuera un personaje de dibujos animados. La ensayista, poeta y narradora Carmen Boullosa ha hecho algo parecido en El Velázquez de París. Y como en novelas anteriores, como La otra mano de Lepanto, lo ha hecho manteniéndose fiel a un estilo que podría definirse como un combinado de W. G. Sebald y Gabriel García Márquez.» -El País, Fernando Castanedo (sobre El Velázquez de París)
