Liliana Bodoc (1958-2018) was born in Santa Fe and lived in Mendoza from a very young age. She dropped out of high school only to return several years later, married, with Galileo and Romina, her children, already part of the family. She studied for a degree in Modern Literatures at the University of Cuyo and worked as a teacher of Spanish and Argentine Literature at schools within the same university. She began publishing in her forties and managed to enter the stream of literature naturally, yet with the urgency of someone who clearly knows what they have come to do in this life. She published her first book in 2001, Los días del venado, a novel that was born a classic and immediately placed her in the very special position she holds today in Spanish-language narrative. "La saga de los confines", completed with Los días de la sombra and Los días del fuego, is probably our reference work in the field of Latin American epic genre. Additionally, she authored the novels Memorias impuras, Presagios de carnaval, and the Tiempo de dragones trilogy. Liliana wrote extensively for children and young adults: Sucedió en colores; La entrevista; El mapa imposible; Diciembre, Súper Álbum; El perro del peregrino; Amigos por el viento and the Elementales series: Ondinas, Salamandras, Silfos y Nomos among others. Her books have been translated into English, French, German, Dutch, Polish, Italian, Portuguese, and Japanese. She received numerous awards, including the Konex de Platino and the White Ravens.
