    King Lear has decided to retire from his royal duties. He calls his three daughters and asks each to tell him how much they love him. The eldest two, Goneril and Regan, flatter him with their words. Cordelia the youngest, only says that she loves him as a daughter must love her father. Furious, he disinherits her and divides his kingdom between her two sisters. But Goneril and Regan soon turn against Lear…

    Melania G. Mazzucco

    Melania G. Mazzucco (Roma, 1966) está considerada una de las mejores escritoras de su país. En Anagrama ha publicado Vita (Premio Strega): «Los que aplaudieron Gangs of New York o El Padrino disfrutarán en estas páginas de asuntos muy afines» (M.ª Ángeles Cabré, La Vanguardia); Ella, tan amada (Premio Napoli y Premio Vittorini): «La novelista italiana más interesante de nuestro tiempo. Una novela extraordinaria» (Nuria Martínez Deaño, La Razón); Un día perfecto: «Altamente recomendable» (J. A. Masoliver Ródenas, La Vanguardia); «La novela es tan negra como verosímil, y entra a saco, desnudándolos, en casi todos los mitos y tabúes de Berluscolandia» (Miguel Mora, El País);  La larga espera del ángel: «Una excepcional combinación de fuerza y levedad, de ironía y emoción» (Santos Domínguez, Encuentros de Lecturas);  Limbo (Premio Elsa Morante): «Con libros como este Mazzucco nos recuerda por qué la novela es también un instrumento de conocimiento humano que no ha podido ser superado» (Pablo Martínez Zarracina, El Correo Español);  Eres como eres (Premio Il Molinello): «Necesitamos libros como este para reclamar el derecho a que no nos roben la alegría con leyes represoras» (Marta Sanz) y Estoy contigo: «Una poderosa novela-testimonio» (Gara); «Es tan poderosa la historia que olvidamos que estamos en un libro y que la construcción de que se ha dotado Mazzucco es un artificio tan poderoso como ella» (Berna González Harbour, El País).
