Dos mujeres, dos épocas. Una novela que explora la identidad femenina a través del tiempo y la memoria.


Aunque soñaba con ser actriz, Sabrina terminó por estudiar Artes. Impulsada por Gabriel --su director de tesis y su amante--, decide investigar las huellas del teatro judío en la Argentina. Para eso recurre a Jaim, un viejo profesor que le sugiere revisar los restos de los archivos de la AMIA, la mutual que sufrió un atentado terrorista en 1994. "Fue en ese momento que decidí que yo me iba a dedicar a ese pasado. No es que me llamara la atención ese mundo, no más que cualquier mundo: lo que me convocaba era que hubiera desaparecido".


La investigación resulta trabada y difícil porque la mayoría de los documentos volaron con la bomba. Hasta que un coleccionista le ofrece una caja y allí descubre el diario de Jana, una actriz del teatro ídish en la Buenos Aires de 1960. Su figura es una suerte de espejo mágico para Sabrina. Seguir sus huellas se vuelve una obsesión y todo lo demás --su familia, su carrera académica, su relación con Gabriel-- pasa a segundo plano.


En La última actriz, Tamara Tenenbaum demuestra una inteligencia narrativa excepcional. Con dos personajes femeninos perturbadores y una trama tan elusiva como hipnótica, esta novela trata acerca de ser mujer, del deseo y la realización, del mito del díbuk y la posesión del cuerpo, de la tradición y la modernidad, de la ciudad de Buenos Aires y de la búsqueda de una clave existencial entre un montón de papeles quemados.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Two women, two eras. A novel that explores female identity through time and memory.

Although she dreamed of becoming an actress, Sabrina ended up studying Arts. Encouraged by Gabriel--her thesis advisor and lover--she decides to investigate the traces of Jewish theater in Argentina. To do this, she turns to Jaim, an old professor who suggests she review the remnants of the AMIA archives, the mutual society that suffered a terrorist attack in 1994. "It was at that moment that I decided I would dedicate myself to that past. It wasn't that I was particularly drawn to that world, no more than any other world: what called to me was that it had disappeared."

The investigation proves to be difficult and obstructed because most of the documents were destroyed in the explosion. Until a collector offers her a box, and there she discovers the diary of Jana, an actress in the Yiddish theater in Buenos Aires in the 1960s. Her figure becomes a sort of magical mirror for Sabrina. Following her traces becomes an obsession, and everything else--her family, her academic career, her relationship with Gabriel--takes a back seat.

In La última actriz, Tamara Tenenbaum demonstrates exceptional narrative intelligence. With two disturbing female characters and a plot as elusive as it is hypnotic, this novel is about being a woman, desire and fulfillment, the myth of the dybbuk and body possession, tradition and modernity, the city of Buenos Aires, and the search for an existential key among a pile of burnt papers.

Bargain Price, but GREAT!!
Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large
Bargain price ....but, it looks great, fits very well, very comfortable and received many compliments! Was shocked that a ~$75 tuxedo was this great. The pants had substantial adjustment in the waist so they fit really well. The length was spot on. I'm 5'11 and 165 pounds and the large was a great fit for me. Highly recommend for anyone needing a tuxedo! The pants do not have a stripe on the side, if that's important to you, it wasn't to me.

Fit and quality
Color: Navy Blue, Size: Small
Very nice suits. Good quality and size is pretty spot on as long as you take measurements. I have bought this brand in two different colors for my son's high-school proms. Both suits held up well and were a good fit. He is tall and skinny. 6 ft and 135 lbs. Wears a 28/34 jeans lol. The small pants fit better for his waist and small jacket fit but he preffered the little closer fit of the medium size jacket. Overall very happy with purchase and would recommend for anyone looking for a cheap suit for a wedding or prom. Its affordable and they have many color options.

pretty good for the price
Color: Brilliant Black, Size: Large
pretty darn good for the price. You can tell its cheap when you feel it and look close but its really not bad. Surprisingly it fit very well. (for reference Im 6' 1.5" 180 pounds and everything fit me good, except the pants that were a little baggy and the vest a little short) but for the price its good. Its nice enough you can wear it out and not feel like your wearing a Halloween costume or something.

Perfect for such a special occasion

I bought this suit for my son's graduation and was very satisfied. It looks elegant and modern, and the fit was excellent. The fabric is comfortable and of good quality—ideal for wearing for several hours. I received many compliments that day. Without a doubt, a very good choice for important and special events.
