Книга: Marguerite Yourcenar «El Laberinto Del Mundo»
Производитель: "Debolsillo" En este ambicioso proyecto, escrito desde 1972 hasta su muerte en 1987, Yourcenar evoca a sus abuelos, a su padre, y tambien su propia infancia y juventud. Los retazos de una vida son tan complejos como la imagen de la galaxia, escribe la autora de Memorias de Adriano, Como seria tu rostro antes de que tu padre y tu madre se encontraran? . A la manera renacentista, Yourcenar se sirve del pasado para hablar del presente. La obsesion por explicarse a si misma y explicar nuestra epoca ilumina las paginas de esta obra monumental que la autora dejo inconclusa, como si de su vida misma se tratara.

Biography
Yourcenar was born Marguerite Antoinette Jeanne Marie Ghislaine Cleenewerck de Crayencour in Brussels, Belgium to Michel Cleenewerck de Crayencour, of French aristocratic descent, and a Belgian mother, Fernande de Cartier de Marchienne, who died ten days after her birth. She grew up in the home of her paternal grandmother.
Yourcenar's first novel, Alexis, was published in 1929. She translated Virginia Woolf's The Waves over a 10-month period in 1937.
In 1939 Yourcenar's intimate companion at the time, a translator named Grace Frick, invited the writer to the United States to escape the outbreak of World War II in Europe. Yourcenar lectured in comparative literature in New York City and Sarah Lawrence College.[1] Yourcenar was bisexual and she and Frick became lovers in 1937, and would remain so until Frick's death in 1979. They bought a house together in Northeast Harbor on Mount Desert Island, Maine and lived there for decades.[2][3]
In 1951 she published, in France, the novel Mémoires d'Hadrien, which she had been writing with pauses for a decade. The novel was an immediate success and met with great critical acclaim. In this novel Yourcenar recreated the life and death of one of the great rulers of the ancient world, the Roman Emperor Hadrian, who writes a long letter to Marcus Aurelius, the son and heir of Antoninus Pius, his successor and adoptive son. The Emperor meditates on his past, describing both his triumphs and his failures, his love for Antinous, and his philosophy. This novel has become a modern classic, a standard against which fictional recreations of antiquity are measured.
Yourcenar was elected as the first female member of the Académie française, in 1980. One of the respected writers in French language, she published many novels, essays, and poems, as well as three volumes of memoirs.
Yourcenar's house on Mount Desert Island, Petite Plaisance, is now a museum dedicated to her memory. She is buried across the sound in Somesville, Maine.
