{"product_id":"don-de-gentes-biblioteca-breve","title":"Don de gentes","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe fascinating chronicle of a time in full transformation by one of the best columnists in our country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween 2006 and 2011, Elvira Lindo wrote a series of columns from Madrid and New York for El País that form a kind of involuntary diary, the chronicle of a time in full transformation. Her gaze naturally focuses on popular culture and high culture, on the famous character and the unknown. These pieces reveal her true gift: a mix of curiosity, irony, and empathy to put herself in others' shoes without losing awareness of their contradictions.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElvira Lindo portrays a vibrant era and also captures with her writing the world that was to come: overexposure, polarization, nostalgia as a refuge, and the triumph of individualism are already perceptible. In Don de gentes, she confirms herself as one of the best columnists in our country, for her lucidity, her closeness, and her formidable ability to narrate life.\u003cbr\u003e  “There is no humor without melancholy, and in this book those two tones of writing are continuously intertwined. […] The smile softens the gravity, and depth is relieved with irony. It is not contradictory; I have carried it within me since I was a child. I manage well among those emotions and try to write riding them, as if life were always a tragicomedy,” Elvira Lindo confesses in the prologue accompanying this revised and expanded edition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seix Barral","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57245004202328,"sku":"LIB-DO-SE-4734556","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/9788432249846.jpg?v=1778107759","url":"https:\/\/uk.plasticbooks.com\/en\/products\/don-de-gentes-biblioteca-breve","provider":"Plastic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
