Preseleccionado para el Premio del CÃrculo Nacional de CrÃticos de Libros en BiografÃa de 2025 Mejor Libro de los Editores de Amazon del 2025 Libro Notable del New York Times de 2025 Cómo escribe su propia vida una de las mayores narradoras de nuestro tiempo?
Las esperadas memorias de una de nuestras figuras culturales más elogiadas e influyentes. Criada por padres de mentalidad cientÃfica y espÃritu independiente, Margaret Atwood pasó gran parte de su infancia en los bosques remotos del norte de Quebec, lejos de las convenciones sociales. Aquella niñez nómada y sin ataduras marcó el inicio de un camino fuera de lo común, que ella misma narra con lucidez, ironÃa e ingenio, entrelazando los momentos decisivos de su vida con las obras que han transformado la narrativa contemporánea, como Ojo de gato y El cuento de la criada. Desfilan poetas, actores, osos, figuras bohemias y personajes casi sobrenaturales, que parecen salidos de sus ficciones. Con su mordacidad caracterÃstica y aguda lucidez, Atwood revela los delicados lazos entre experiencia y creación, y entre realidad y palabra escrita. Y abre también una ventana Ãntima a su relación con el carismático escritor Graeme Gibson y a los paisajes emocionales que nutrieron su escritura. Luminosa, reveladora y profundamente humana, Libro de mis vidas no es sólo la crónica de una trayectoria única, sino también una aguda reflexión sobre lo que significa escribir, recordar y transformar la experiencia en literatura. Un testimonio fascinante de una de las voces más influyentes de nuestro tiempo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Longlisted for the 2025 National Book Critics Circle Award on Biography
Amazon Editors' Best Book 2025 New York Times 100 Notable Book of 2025 How does one of the greatest storytellers of our time write her own life? The long-awaited memoirs of one of our most praised and influential cultural figures. Raised by scientifically-minded and independently-spirited parents, Margaret Atwood spent much of her childhood in the remote forests of northern Quebec, far from social conventions. That nomadic and unbound childhood marked the beginning of an extraordinary path, which she narrates with clarity, irony, and wit, intertwining the decisive moments of her life with the works that have transformed contemporary narrative, such as Cat's Eye and The Handmaid's Tale. Poets, actors, bears, bohemian figures, and almost supernatural characters, who seem to come out of her fictions, parade through the pages. With her characteristic sharpness and acute lucidity, Atwood reveals the delicate ties between experience and creation, and between reality and the written word. She also opens an intimate window into her relationship with the charismatic writer Graeme Gibson and the emotional landscapes that nurtured her writing. Luminous, revealing, and profoundly human, Book of Lives is not only the chronicle of a unique trajectory but also a keen reflection on what it means to write, remember, and transform experience into literature. A fascinating testimony from one of the most influential voices of our time.
