The present volume reviews and revisits the life and work of Spanish writer, editor, and intellectual Esther Tusquets (1936–2012). The author of some seven novels, three collections of short stories, two books for children, seven volumes of essays and memoirs, and an extensive corpus of journalistic and other short prose texts, Tusquets’s contributions to contemporary Spanish culture and literature are vast and heterogeneous. Most academic scholarship to date has been dedicated to Tusquets’s groundbreaking novelistic trilogy (El mismo mar de todos los veranos [1978], El amor es un juego solitario [1979], Varada tras el último naufragio [1980]) and to her unified short-story collection, Siete miradas en el mismo paisaje (1979). The essays contained in Esther Tusquets: Scholarly Correspondences offer new readings of the author’s canonical fiction and delve into the largely unexplored terrain of her non-fiction. Participating faculty-scholars include Nina L. Molinaro (University of Colorado at Boulder); Maureen Tobin Stanley (University of Minnesota Duluth); Inmaculada Pertusa-Seva (Western Kentucky University); Laura Lonsdale (Queen’s College, University of Oxford); Stacey Dolgin Casado (University of Georgia); Abigail Lee Six (Royal Holloway, University of London); María Elena Soliño (University of Houston); Mayte de Lama (Elon University); Catherine G. Bellver (University of Nevada, Las Vegas); Rosalía Cornejo Parriego (University of Ottawa); Meri Torras Francès (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona); and Mary S. Vázquez (Davidson College). The volume concludes with a complete bibliography by Tiffany L. Malloy of works by and about Tusquets.

We Had Won the War (Habíamos ganado la Guerra) is the bestselling 2008 memoir about life in post-Civil War Barcelona by the acclaimed Spanish author Esther Tusquets. Unlike the majority of Spanish postwar narratives that are written from the perspective of those who lost the Civil War and suffered under the Franco regime, Tusquets' account recreates the era from the standpoint of the «winners.» As the offspring of an upper-middle-class Catalonian family who had sided with Franco in the armed conflict, the young Esther grew up as a privileged member of Spanish society, enjoying all the advantages that birth and material affluence could afford. The child's initial enchantment with the glittering, sheltered world of her kin soon turns to disillusionment, as she discerns the fault lines running through the larger social landscape, and senses the hypocrisy and cruelty of her parents' inbred clan. She finds in the inner world of literature and of the imagination compensation for a disturbing outer reality. As the growing girl struggles to find her own way, she experiments with political and religious movements that aim to forge a more just society. Her quest eventually leads to the rejection of all absolutist forms of thought and action, and to the assumption of her life's calling as a publisher and writer. The book paints a vivid picture of life during the early Franco years, while offering an intimate, revealing look at the childhood and adolescence of one of Spain's most remarkable contemporary authors.

Stranded written by Esther Tusquets and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1991 with Man-woman relationship categories.
Spanish feminist writer Esther Tusquets has won a discriminating following in this country with two earlier novels published in translation, Love Is a Solitary Game and The Same Sea as Every Summer. Stranded is a novel about love and betrayal among friends and lovers, husbands and wives. For years, Elia and her husband Jorge have spent their summers with their friends Eva and Pablo at a resort town on the Costa Brava. This summer, Elia arrives alone--silent, desolate, and wishing to become as inert as a stone. Jorge has left her and her world has collapsed. Her friends can do little to help. Eva, a liberal lawyer, is devastated when she learns that her husband Pablo has begun an affair with a girl half his age in a desperate attempt to recapture his youth and creativity. Eva is further hampered by the presence of Clara, a moody teenager with a history of molestation who has fallen in love with Eva. Each of these characters is desperately dependent upon another for a sense of self-worth, and only Elia emerges at the end with a liberating feeling of independence--though even this may be illusory. Using a stream-of-conscious technique reminiscent of Dorothy Richardson and Virginia Woolf, Tusquets explores the idea "that the loss of love is always hard bitter sad that its end is always painful for everyone and surely much more so for women."

Esther Tusquets was already well known in Spain as director of the Barcelona publishing house Editorial Lumen, where she stunned the reading public in the late seventies and eighties with the publication of a highly acclaimed narrative cycle (translated into English as The Same Sea as Every Summer, Love is a Solitary Game, Stranded, and Never to Return) whose daringly innovative content and prose style broke new ground for the Spanish novel and for women's writing. Now with her spellbinding memoir Private Correspondence (Correspondencia privada, 2001), the author finally sheds her masks and disguises to share with us the true story that underlies the entire body of her narrative work. The book consists of four imaginary letters to the most important people in her life, by now dead or dying, in which she reviews and meditates on her relationship with each and the role he or she has played in her story.

Una galería de personajes soberbiamente descritos; un documento de época desde un punto de vista, el de los vencedores, poco frecuente en la narrativa española; los avatares de la protagonista en su descubrimiento del mundo, de los demás y de sí misma, todo ello descrito con una sinceridad y una valentía inusuales, hacen de este libro un título polémico y, a la vez, una de las obras mayores de Esther Tusquets. Habíamos ganado la guerra (frase con la que la autora inicia estas memorias) supone todo un acontecimiento en el panorama actual de nuestras letras, no sólo por tratarse de un nuevo libro de Esther Tusquets, sino por su temática: la burguesía franquista de Barcelona de los años cuarenta y ciencuenta a través de los recuerdos de la autora desde los tres años, cuando las tropas de Franco entran en Barcelona, hasta los veinte, cuando abandona su militancia en la Falange y cobra conciencia de que no pertenece al bando de los vencedores, en cuyo seno se ha educado, sino al que sigue y seguirá luchando por una mayor justicia.

Fiction. Translated from the Spanish by Barbara F. Ichiishi. SEVEN VIEWS OF THE SAME LANDSCAPE is a beautiful collection of coming-of-age tales that unfold in post-Civil War Barcelona. Told as remembered episodes largely from a child's perspective, the young Sara is entranced by the glittering, sheltered world of her parents who had sided with Franco in the Civil War. But she soon begins to discern the fault lines running through the larger social landscape and to sense the hypocrisy and cruelty of her parents' inbred clan. Rendered in Tusquets's flowing musical prose, the stories offer a uniquely feminine vision of a girl's quest to find love and meaning in an alien adult world.
