Una joya inédita del Premio Nobel Günter Grass en el décimo aniversario de su fallecimiento. La estatua, descubierta en un cajón polvoriento, ha causado «un pequeño revuelo literario». (Schwäbische)

«Entre los inmortales».--Salman Rushdie, The New Yorker

«Una escritura exquisita». --The New York Review of Books

Cuando le preguntaron con qué mujer de la historia del arte le gustaría cenar, Umberto Eco contestó sin dudar Uta de Naumburgo, considerada durante siglos la mujer más bella de la Edad Media y acusada de brujería durante su corta vida.

En una gira de lecturas por la antigua RDA a finales de los años ochenta, Grass ve la estatua de Uta por primera vez en la catedral de Naumburgo, hoy Patrimonio de la Unesco, y queda embobado por su belleza y realismo. Su figura, idealizada por el nazismo e inspiración para que Walt Disney creara la madrastra de Blancanieves, se caracteriza por un gesto único para el siglo XIII: con la mano derecha levanta el cuello de su preciosa túnica con un aire de misterio, casi como para ocultarse de alguien.

Grass recurre en este libro al tradicional recurso del convidado de piedra invitando a cenar en su jardín a la hija de un orfebre que hizo de modelo para la estatua. Sin embargo, en un atrevido salto en el tiempo, Uta sigue apareciéndose en más ciudades durante sus viajes, sorprendiendo al narrador enamorado, que la busca por todas partes, y convirtiendo sus siguientes giras en un verdadero desastre, hasta la caída del Muro y sus consecuencias.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A newly discovered and translated jewel of a story from the Nobel laureate, now published for the ten-year anniversary of his death.

At the end of the 1980s, a writer on a book tour, who very much resembles Grass, passes through East Germany and visits the Cathedral of Naumburg with its famous twelve donor statues. He invites the sculptor's models to dinner―and they come, not as ghosts, but as they were when alive in the thirteenth century. Toward the end of dinner, after drinking an icy Coca-Cola, the model for the famed beauty Uta von Naumburg declares she has to go to work: a living statue.

As he continues touring around Europe, the writer looks for Uta and her donation basket outside every cathedral he passes. At last, in Frankfurt, he sees her in front of Deutsche Bank and the two have a meeting with staggering consequences. As Grass said, "on paper everything is possible," and in this tale he gleefully erases the line between life and death, present and past.

Good!
Style: SPF 70, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Works well! Love the subtle shimmer and glow it gives me. Doesn’t leave a white cast, but definitely does feel a little oily on the skin. Smells very nice too, not that classic chemical sunscreen smell at all.

Black girl friendly!!!!!
Style: SPF 70, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I absolutely love this sunscreen! Im a black women with darker skin so its very hard to find sunscreen that doesnt make me a ghost and this one is so perfect. I tan super easy and dont want bad tan lines and this stops me from tanning when im just in regular clothes. This leaves my skin feeling super hydrated and it gives me such a beautiful glow im so obsessed i will NEVER use anything else. It smells ok, its not the typical sunscreen smell it has a slight fragrance to it. I have sensitive skin on my face and i use this on my face and i dont break out! Which never happens when i use a new product on my face, i typically break out. It goes on white but after rubbing it in after a few seconds it turns into this gorgeous golden glow.

Great protection with a lovely scent
Style: SPF 70, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I really like this sunscreen! It gives excellent sun protection and keeps my skin from burning, even during long hours outside. The texture is smooth and lightweight, and it leaves my skin feeling soft instead of greasy. I also love the light tropical scent — it smells like summer in a bottle! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it can feel a little thick when reapplying, especially in humid weather. Other than that, it’s a great sunscreen that does its job well and makes my skin look healthy and radiant.
