El libro más íntimo de Julio Ramón Ribeyro.

Desde finales de los años cuarenta el gran escritor peruano Julio Ramón Ribeyro fue dando forma a un diario personal que lo acompañó durante múltiples viajes y estancias en España, Francia, Alemania, Bélgica y Perú. Obra colosal, originariamente no destinada a su publicación, se proyecta como uno de los testimonios más intensos y conmovedores del itinerario vital y creativo de un escritor.

Estos diarios que abarcan el periodo 1950-1978 ponen por primera vez al alcance del lector en español un paisaje literario fascinante, el que enmarca la vida y la obra de un narrador excepcional. En estas páginas se podrá encontrar a Ribeyro al desnudo, expuesto a los avatares de la cotidianidad, aunque con una asombrosa conciencia artística de su oficio literario.

En el brillante prólogo que ha escrito para esta edición conmemorativa, Enrique Vila-Matas celebra «uno de los más fascinantes diarios literarios del siglo pasado». Lectura apasionante e imprescindible, estos diarios reflejan y entran en conversación con la obra de ficción de uno de los más notables escritores en lengua española.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The most intimate book by Julio Ramón Ribeyro.

Since the late 1940s, the great Peruvian writer Julio Ramón Ribeyro began shaping a personal diary that accompanied him through multiple travels and stays in Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, and Peru. A colossal work, originally not intended for publication, it emerges as one of the most intense and moving testimonies of a writer's creative and personal journey.

These diaries, covering the period from 1950 to 1978, offer Spanish-speaking readers for the first time a fascinating literary landscape--one that frames the life and work of an exceptional storyteller. Within these pages, Ribeyro appears laid bare, exposed to the ups and downs of daily life, yet with an astonishing artistic awareness of his literary craft.

In the brilliant prologue written for this commemorative edition, Enrique Vila-Matas celebrates "one of the most fascinating literary diaries of the last century." A passionate and essential read, these diaries reflect and engage in dialogue with the fictional work of one of the most notable writers in the Spanish language.

You won't be sorry
Size: 10.5-11.5 Women/9-10 Men, Color: Black
Great padding for comfort and terrific warmth. I bought a pair of Acorns 30 years ago and still have them. Updated to a new color and now feel the benefit of newer padding! I used the sizing listed for shoes and like the roominess for thicker sox. Well made and a joy to put on. (Wisconsin)

Extremely comfortable, leather sole. Hard to find a style.
Size: 13.5-14.5 Women/12-13 Men, Color: Navy Blue, Size: 13.5-14.5 Women/12-13 Men, Color: Navy Blue
Totally worth the price. This type of style is very hard to find, my husband had another pair a few years ago that he was never able to replace. These fit his wide feet and are very comfortable. The elastic at the ankle is not too tight. So glad I was able to find him a replacement. We bought the blue in a size 12. Love the fact that they are washable.

Very comfortable Slippers. Great buy!
Size: 12-13 Women/10.5-11.5 Men, Color: Charcoal
I bought these to replace a pair of slippers that I have had for years that are very similar to the slippers I bought, but I had worn a hole in the leather on mine, so I had to find something new and similar. These slippers are worth the money they are very comfortable, and I am sure they will last for years. They are a little tight around the ankle cuff but they are still new and I am sure they will wear in a little more when I start wearing them more.

Great slippers but disappointing quality.
Size: 7.5-8.5 Women/6-7 Men, Color: Ash, Size: 7.5-8.5 Women/6-7 Men, Color: Ash
Extremely comfortable, attractive slippers but the stitching came loose on both leather trim areas almost immediately. I tried to sew/glue down the stitching (as seen in photo) but it kept unraveling. Disappointing as these slippers are great in every other way (though they do run a bit big...I wear a 9 but ended up with a 7.5-8.5 which fits with a bit of room to spare even with thick socks). I just hope they hold up after my latest attempt to stop the thread from pulling out any more as I do really love wearing them. Perhaps I just got a bum pair?
