Synopsis
Ahora me piden que sea otra de la que soy, que me corte la lengua, que me nuble la vista, que me ampute los dedos, el corazon, que no piense, que sienta mas que lo que es menester y propio de una religiosa, de una esposa de Cristo. Quien ha decidido que no pensar es propio de la mujer del Altisimo?Las palabras desesperadas de Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz atraviesan el Atlantico en los ultimos meses de su vida, en el que el arzobispo ha pedido su renuncia a los libros. Mientras ella busca protegerse del asedio de los lobos, auxiliada por su amiga Maria Luisa Manrique, la vida de esta monja ilustrada y poeta de excepcion es narrada con sutileza por las mujeres de su tiempo.En este mosaico de voces destacan la de su madre y la de su abuela junto a esclavas, maestras, cortesanas, familiares, su sobrina, virreinas y una monja resentida, quienes construyen el mundo que les toco vivir y miran a Juana Ines con asombro. Esta obra reconstruye la vida y la epoca de Sor Juana en un mundo de hombres, en una sociedad donde la magia y la religion, la herencia espanola, el sustrato indigena y la influencia negra son el espectro en donde se tejen amores, alianzas y traiciones.Yo, la peor, de Monica Lavin, es una novela intimista que despliega con fuerza incomparable las pasiones secretas de Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz en una epoca donde la batalla de los talentos y el poder define, asimismo, el futuro de una nacion.
