Synopsis "Teresa de Avila (in Spanish)"

Colección: Cardinales ; 5Publicada originalmente en 1951, esta biografía nos ofrece un retrato de cuerpo entero de la gran reformista, escritora y mística española. Un retrato que no se queda en el simple relato de los años y los hechos de una vida sino que nos ofrece la visión, la interpretación que de la santa hace la novelista y dramaturga irlandesa Kate O’Brien (1897-1974), para quien Testa figura fue «una mujer genial [.] Su escritura brillante y a veces trascendentalmente maravillosa nos ha dejado el testimonio de laEncuadernación: Rústica vida vivida por un genio». El resultado es una lectura apasionante, un nuevo y conmovedor acercamiento a una de las grandes figuras de nuestra historia.
