�Yo soy yo cuando sue�o. Yo soy yo cuando deseo. Yo soy yo cuando callo y oculto. �Qui�n comprender�a mi verdadera vida si no es �l? �Qui�n me dar� este descanso, esta paz, esta victoria? S�. S�. Como �l dice: “En la gracia y en el silencio. En tu interior est� tu vida. Tu verdadero placer, en el secreto”�.

Ah� es donde quiere su confesor que est�, como antes su madre, como ahora su madrastra, que es tambi�n su t�a, escondi�ndose bajo la ropa, sin llamar la atenci�n de los ojos codiciosos de los hombres. Ah� es donde la quiere su padre, discreta, invisible, detenida. Sin embargo, ella es todo curiosidad, despertar sexual y deseo inamovible, rebelde, de conocerse y experimentar. Y as� aparenta ceder ante las exigencias morales de los hombres, ya sea su recto padre, el dulce y joven carnicero, el atolondrado profesor de instituto o el sacerdote, mientras le susurra al mundo que de su interior solo ella ser� due�a, reina, poseedora, tambi�n la esclava, la pose�da, �pero de m�, due�a de m�, solo esclava de m��.

Esta novela sobre la construcci�n de una identidad propia en la inmediata posguerra espa�ola, donde si a los hombres les era dif�cil saber qui�nes eran, las mujeres no ten�an ni voz ni cuerpo, constituye el fulgurante y oportuno regreso de Rafael Ballesteros a esa narrativa apegada a la pulsi�n po�tica que caracteriza su obra.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
