El libro del año 2025 de Barnes & Noble Un acontecimiento editorial en veintiocho paÃses: una apasionante y conmovedora novela filosófica que propone una iniciación a la belleza y a la vida en 52 obras maestras, finalista del Grand Prix RTL-Lire Magazine Littéraire 2024 «Un terremoto en el mundo editorial. Thomas Schlesser. Recuerde su nombre. [...] La idea de la novela es fabulosa. [...] Se lee un poco como El mundo de SofÃa en el ámbito del arte [...], como una novela de aprendizaje, una novela de la alegrÃa . -Le Figaro Littéraire Cincuenta y dos semanas: ese es el tiempo que le queda a Mona, una niña de diez años, para atesorar toda la belleza del mundo. Es el lapso que su erudito y original abuelo se ha dado para descubrirle, cada miércoles después del colegio, una obra de arte antes de que se quede ciega. AsÃ, se disponen a visitar juntos los tres grandes museos parisinos: Louvre, Orsay y Beaubourg (Centro Pompidou), y a zambullirse en cuadros y esculturas con el fin de que su propia belleza y su sentido filosófico permeen y se inscriban para siempre en lo más hondo de Mona. Mirando a través de los ojos de Botticelli, Vermeer, Goya, Frida Kahlo o Basquiat, la pequeña aprenderá sobre la generosidad, la duda, la melancolÃa, la autonomÃa o la indignación, e irá incorporando su poderoso aprendizaje en su dÃa a dÃa. Los ojos de Mona es una novela de iniciación al arte y a la vida que ahonda en la luminosa relación entre una nieta y su abuelo. Una historia llena de hermosos sentimientos que se ha convertido en un extraordinario fenómeno editorial antes incluso de su publicación en Francia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Barnes & Noble Book of the Year 2025
A literary sensation in twenty-eight countries: a passionate and moving philosophical novel that proposes an initiation into beauty and life in 52 masterpieces. Finalist, Grand Prix RTL-Lire Magazine Littéraire 2024. Fifty-two weeks: that'll all the time allotted to ten-year-old Mona to appreciate all the beauty in the world. With the girl at risk of going blind, her scholarly and eccentric grandfather assigns himself the task of introducing her to a work of art every Wednesday after school. Together, they visit Paris's three great museums - the Louvre, Orsay and Beaubourg (Centre Pompidou) - and immerse themselves in the contemplation of paintings and sculptures so that their beauty and philosophy will permeate Mona's psyche and leave her with their indelible imprint. Through the eyes of Botticelli, Vermeer, Goya, Frida Kahlo and Basquiat, Mona learns about generosity, doubt, melancholy, autonomy and indignation, incorporating these powerful lessons into her daily life. Los ojos de Mona is a novel of initiation into art and life that explores the luminous relationship between grandfather and granddaughter. A story full of gorgeous sentiments that became a literary phenomenon even before its publication in France.
