El grupo es la obra más conocida, y controvertida, de la norteamericana Mary McCarthy. Cuando se publicó en 1963 constituyó un succès de scandale, pues abordaba temas como el amor libre, la anticoncepción o el aborto desde un punto de vista femenino. McCarthy nos traslada a la Nueva York de los treinta para retratar la vida de nueve universitarias recién licenciadas en el Vassar College, comenzando con la boda de una de ellas, y terminando con su funeral en 1940. Las nueve son independientes, inquietas y libres, aunque lo que se espere de ellas sea el matrimonio y la crianza. Una novela excepcional, un clásico moderno de extrema elegancia y franqueza que supone una de las más brillantes radiografÃas de los Estados Unidos en la época en que las mujeres empezaron a hablar en primera persona.

HTML:This smash bestseller about privileged Vassar classmates shocked America in the sixties and remains "juicy . . . witty . . . brilliant" (Cosmopolitan). At Vassar, they were known as "the group"â??eight young women of privilege, the closest of friends, an eclectic mix of vibrant personalities. A week after graduation in 1933, they all gather for the wedding of Kay Strong, one of their own, before going their separate ways in the world. In the years that follow, they will each know accomplishment and loss in equal measure, pursuing careers and marriage, experiencing the joys and traumas of sexual awakening and motherhood, all while suffering through betrayals, infidelities, and sometimes madness. Some of them will drift apart. Some will play important roles in the personal dramas of others. But it is tragedy that will ultimately unite the group once again. A novel that stunned the world when it was first published in 1963, Mary McCarthy's The Group found acclaim, controversy, and a place atop the New York Times bestseller list for nearly two years for its frank and controversial exploration of women's issues, social concerns, and sexuality. A blistering satire of the mores of an emergent generation of women, The Group is McCarthy's enduring masterpiece, still as relevant, powerful, and wonderfully entertaining fifty years on. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Mary McCarthy including rare images from the author's esta No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
