Editor's Note:
Katy Kelleher se ha pasado la vida buscando la belleza. Cuando era niña arrancaba flores, recogía conchas de la playa y cavaba en el patio de su casa en busca de piedras preciosas. De adolescente se aplicaba gloss y purpurina en los párpados y se rociaba con su perfume de azahar y jazmín. Ya de adulta empezó a codiciar encimeras de mármol y vajillas de porcelana para embellecer su hogar. Pero esta obsesión por la belleza no solo le ha llevado a rodearse de objetos hermosos, sino también a querer estudiar en profundidad cómo se extraen, se cultivan o se fabrican las cosas bellas. A través de sus investigaciones –que la han convertido en una célebre escritora especializada en diseño, decoración y jardinería– Kelleher ha descubierto el verdadero coste que comporta satisfacer nuestros deseos, y ha concluido que detrás de todo objeto hermoso se esconde inevitablemente una historia de dolor, extorsión y decadencia.En esta colección de ensayos lúcidos y contundentes, en los que ciencia, historia y memorias se combinan magistralmente, Kelleher sale en busca de los secretos más inconfesables de nuestros productos favoritos. Con una prosa tan deslumbrante como los objetos que describe, Kelleher nos invita a examinar la relación que mantenemos con los objetos que adornan nuestro cuerpo y decoran nuestros hogares. Y al mismo tiempo argumenta que, aunque tengamos el imperativo moral de comprender nuestra relación con el deseo, tampoco somos malvados por anhelar la belleza.Esta terrible historia de las cosas bellas nos abre los ojos ante las cosas que nos rodean, nos ayuda a comprender cómo surgió, qué precio se pagó y cómo podemos participar de la belleza del mundo de una manera ética. «Una valiosa aportación a ese género raro, escaso y a la vez útil, que son los libros que huyen de la autoayuda y que, sin embargo, contienen ideas muy interesantes sobre cómo vivir.» The Atlantic«Kelleher nos hace viajar por la complejidad, el poder, la necesidad y la viveza de las cosas bellas. Este libro tiene muchos puntos fuertes, pero sobre todo destaca la curiosidad infatigable y emocionada de la autora, que permanecerá contigo mucho tiempo después de leer la última página.» CHLOÉ COOPER JONES, autora de Easy Beauty«Un libro precioso. Kelleher escribe sin prisas, minuciosamente, como quien arranca los pétalos de una flor, uno por uno, para descubrir lo que hay debajo.» Star Tribune«Katy Kelleher tiene una habilidad especial para entrelazar ágilmente sus propios recuerdos y gustos con las historias de los objetos mismos.» The New York Times«Un texto magnífico, riguroso y muy completo, lleno de datos deliciosos y observaciones agudas.» The Washington Post
