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.

Holy grail of cleansing oil!
Scent: Unscented, Size: 6.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I'm very experienced with skincare, and this is hands down the best cleansing oil I've come across. I use this as part of a double cleansing routine, and it is so effective in removing makeup, sunscreen, and difficult mascara I no longer need to use makeup remover balm as a first step. This is now a permanent part of my skincare routine!

Truly does clean even mascara and eyeliner and there is no oily residue - just a clean face!
Scent: Unscented, Size: 7.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I won’t be without this face cleansing oil! It works like magic to remove every trace of foundation, eye liner, mascara, eyeshadow and leaves my face feeling hydrated but not greasy or filmy. It rinses off easily - I have used it for 10+ years . It never causes breakouts nor does it leave residue. I am 75 years old.,

A little goes a long way!
I'm almost 50 years old and have dry and super sensitive skin. I've struggled to find for years a gentle moisturizer, but effective on my fine lines as well. Omg this works! This gives my skin a beautiful non-oily glow, no negative reactions or breakouts, and leaves my skin so incredibly soft with elasticity. Within minutes it dries (or skin soaks it up) wonderfully, it's not sticky. I'm very pleased with this product, I will be purchasing it again, I hope this product remains the same, and stays on the market. I LOVE this product! I also have no need for my expensive moisturizer anymore, that was quite frankly not as nice as this. Keeps my skin moisturized and soft for 24 hours, fully tested this. I do use an eye cream, but only after I've used this over my entire face and neck after washing. Amazing product, no scent, awesome value for the money. Highly recommend!!

Unique Texture, Amazing Results — Now One of My Favorites!
This serum definitely has a texture similar to snail mucin, so it took me a few tries to get used to — but I’m so glad I stuck with it because the results are incredible. Once it absorbs, my skin feels deeply hydrated, smoother, and so much more plump. The rice and ceramide formula really strengthens the skin barrier, and I’ve noticed my complexion looking brighter and healthier overall. It layers beautifully under moisturizer and doesn’t leave any sticky residue once it settles in. If you’re looking for a hydrating, brightening serum and don’t mind a unique texture, this one is absolutely worth it. It grew on me fast and is now a staple in my routine!
