Desde su infancia en Managua y sus encuentros iniciales con poetas y revolucionarios, a persecuciones urbanas, reuniones con Fidel Castro, relaciones amorosas truncadas por la muerte o el exilio en México y Costa Rica, hasta su inesperado matrimonio con un periodista norteamericano, la historia de Gioconda Belli es tanto la de una mujer que se descubre a sí misma, como la de una nación que forja su destino.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eENGLISH DESCRIPTION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"A passionate, lyrical, tough-minded account of an extraordinary life in art, revolution, and love. It's a book to relish, to read and re-read. Unforgettable.\" --Salmon Rushdie\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn electrifying memoir from the acclaimed Nicaraguan writer (\"A wonderfully free and original talent\"--Harold Pinter) and central figure in the Sandinista Revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntil her early twenties, Gioconda Belli inhabited an upper-class cocoon: sheltered from the poverty in Managua in a world of country clubs and debutante balls; educated abroad; early marriage and motherhood. But in 1970, everything changed. Her growing dissatisfaction with domestic life, and a blossoming awareness of the social inequities in Nicaragua, led her to join the Sandinistas, then a burgeoning but still hidden organization. She would be involved with them over the next twenty years at the highest, and often most dangerous, levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer memoir is both a revelatory insider's account of the Revolution and a vivid, intensely felt story about coming of age under extraordinary circumstances. Belli writes with both striking lyricism and candor about her personal and political lives: about her family, her children, the men in her life; about her poetry; about the dichotomies between her birth-right and the life she chose for herself; about the failures and triumphs of the Revolution; about her current life, divided between California (with her American husband and their children) and Nicaragua; and about her sustained and sustaining passion for her country and its people.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prh Grupo Editorial","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53492959445334,"sku":"9781400034390-V","price":8.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":54138291355990,"sku":"9781400034390-G","price":18.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - acceptable","offer_id":53417923805526,"sku":"9781400034390-B","price":18.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781400034390_1_b40b1bce-bc46-4282-93a6-74cce54a9c3a.jpg?v=1781663254","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/belli-gioconda-el-pais-bajo-mi-piel-the-country-under-my-skin-9781400034390","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
