El libro más íntimo de Julio Ramón Ribeyro.

Desde finales de los años cuarenta el gran escritor peruano Julio Ramón Ribeyro fue dando forma a un diario personal que lo acompañó durante múltiples viajes y estancias en España, Francia, Alemania, Bélgica y Perú. Obra colosal, originariamente no destinada a su publicación, se proyecta como uno de los testimonios más intensos y conmovedores del itinerario vital y creativo de un escritor.

Estos diarios que abarcan el periodo 1950-1978 ponen por primera vez al alcance del lector en español un paisaje literario fascinante, el que enmarca la vida y la obra de un narrador excepcional. En estas páginas se podrá encontrar a Ribeyro al desnudo, expuesto a los avatares de la cotidianidad, aunque con una asombrosa conciencia artística de su oficio literario.

En el brillante prólogo que ha escrito para esta edición conmemorativa, Enrique Vila-Matas celebra «uno de los más fascinantes diarios literarios del siglo pasado». Lectura apasionante e imprescindible, estos diarios reflejan y entran en conversación con la obra de ficción de uno de los más notables escritores en lengua española.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The most intimate book by Julio Ramón Ribeyro.

Since the late 1940s, the great Peruvian writer Julio Ramón Ribeyro began shaping a personal diary that accompanied him through multiple travels and stays in Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, and Peru. A colossal work, originally not intended for publication, it emerges as one of the most intense and moving testimonies of a writer's creative and personal journey.

These diaries, covering the period from 1950 to 1978, offer Spanish-speaking readers for the first time a fascinating literary landscape--one that frames the life and work of an exceptional storyteller. Within these pages, Ribeyro appears laid bare, exposed to the ups and downs of daily life, yet with an astonishing artistic awareness of his literary craft.

In the brilliant prologue written for this commemorative edition, Enrique Vila-Matas celebrates "one of the most fascinating literary diaries of the last century." A passionate and essential read, these diaries reflect and engage in dialogue with the fictional work of one of the most notable writers in the Spanish language.

Soft, not too thick and wash very well. Feels great against my skin and doesn’t make my hair frizzy. Color was perfect.

Cool, Comfortable, and Worth Every Penny!
Color: Light Gray, Size: Standard
I’m honestly impressed with these pillowcases! From the first night, I could feel the difference—they stay noticeably cool, which is perfect if you tend to sleep hot like I do. The fabric feels silky smooth against the skin without being slippery, and it’s really gentle on both my hair and face. I’ve also noticed I wake up less sweaty and more comfortable overall. They fit my pillows well and don’t slip off during the night, which is a big plus. After washing, they held up great—no fading, shrinking, or loss of softness. If you’re looking for pillowcases that actually help keep you cool and comfortable through the night, these are definitely worth it. I’ll be buying more!

Extremely cold, silky, gentle on hair
Color: White, Size: Queen
This was so cold when I removed it from the package that at first I thought it would be too cold. It was as if it had been in a freezer. I really like how silky it is on my face. (I can't stand a rough feeling pillowcase.) It is also gentle on my curly hair. The pillowcase can warm up from being slept on, but a shift of just a few inches gets back to wonderful cold. I highly recommend this as an extremely cool, silky smooth fabric. These are much colder than my very expensive miracle sheets.
