Desde su infancia en Managua y sus encuentros iniciales con poetas y revolucionarios, a persecuciones urbanas, reuniones con Fidel Castro, relaciones amorosas truncadas por la muerte o el exilio en México y Costa Rica, hasta su inesperado matrimonio con un periodista norteamericano, la historia de Gioconda Belli es tanto la de una mujer que se descubre a sí misma, como la de una nación que forja su destino.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eENGLISH DESCRIPTION\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"A passionate, lyrical, tough-minded account of an extraordinary life in art, revolution, and love.

Unforgettable.\" --Salmon Rushdie\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAn electrifying memoir from the acclaimed Nicaraguan writer (“A wonderfully free and original talent”—Harold Pinter) and central figure in the Sandinista Revolution. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Until her early twenties, Gioconda Belli inhabited an upper-class cocoon: sheltered from the poverty in Managua in a world of country clubs and debutante balls; educated abroad; early marriage and motherhood. But in 1970, everything changed. Her growing dissatisfaction with domestic life, and a blossoming awareness of the social inequities in Nicaragua, led her to join the Sandinistas, then a burgeoning but still hidden organization. She would be involved with them over the next twenty years at the highest, and often most dangerous, levels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Her memoir is both a revelatory insider’s account of the Revolution and a vivid, intensely felt story about coming of age under extraordinary circumstances. Belli writes with both striking lyricism and candor about her personal and political lives: about her family, her children, the men in her life; about her poetry; about the dichotomies between her birth-right and the life she chose for herself; about the failures and triumphs of the Revolution; about her current life, divided between California (with her American husband and their children) and Nicaragua; and about her sustained and sustaining passion for her country and its people.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46300643918053,"sku":"NP9781400034390","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781400034390.jpg?v=1767726064","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/el-pa-s-bajo-mi-piel-the-country-under-my-skin-isbn-9781400034390","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
