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.

This is a terrific purchase.
Size: Large, Color: Navy Blue, Size: Large, Color: Navy Blue
Amazing for the price. It’s a wonderful suit fit just right for a 5’10”. 145 pound male. The quality is surprisingly wonderful for this suit and the color is accurate. As in the picture it is a slim fit and accentuates his figure. I would highly recommend this for a purchase. (be sure to use the measurements on their description before ordering). After a steam and a press we were ready to go. The packaging was very nicely done also.

Perfect fit.
Size: Large, Color: Dark Gray
I’m 5’9”, about 180 lbs. I got an L based on the Amazon recommendation. The size chart showed the pants being a 36” which is big for me but it’s those that stretch so if you’re a 34” like me, it’ll fit perfectly. No alterations needed for me. Great fit, good looking suit, nice material. I immediately bought another and hope it fits as good as this one. Genuinely impressed.
