“El señor peludo” fue mi primer encuentro con May Sarton y desde ahí soy fiel a su escritura. El libro relata las aventuras de un gato (que luego sería bautizado como Tom Jones por la propia May Sarton) desde que nació hasta que decidió adoptar a sus dos dueñas. Menciono que el mismo animal fue quien las adoptó porque esa es la manera en que nos lo presenta la historia, como fue pasando de dueños anteriores con los cuales no se encontraba a gusto hasta que llegó a la casa donde vivía la misma escritora con su compañera de vida. Como fan de los gatitos puedo afirmar que este relato es una obra de arte. Solo una gran admiradora de estos animales puede poner en palabras las sensaciones que éstos pueden sentir, y también, por supuesto, una gran escritora. Es increíble la manera en que ella se formó toda una vida del Señor Peludo y sus hazañas, todo lo que aprendió antes y con ellas, hasta también los sentimientos que pudo sentir cuando tuvieron que mudarse. Es un libro que se puede leer a cualquier edad porque es perfectamente hermoso. Como he mencionado anteriormente, May tiene una pluma ligera que nos permite leerlo de manera corrida sin cansarnos, la manera en retractar las situaciones es sencilla pero tan completa que nos representa una escena completa en nuestra mente. Considero este libro como un abrazo luego de un día pesado, una caricia a nuestro corazón o como cuando sentimos el ronroneo de nuestros gatitos sentados en nuestros regazos. Nos llena completamente de amor. Y por último, algo que realmente me encantó de su prólogo, el hecho de que con este libro ella inmortalizó a un integrante muy importante en su vida: su mascota.

The most valuable thing we can do for the psyche, occasionally, is to let it rest, wander, live in the changing light of room, not try to be or do anything whatever #MaySarton #saturday #caturday #mood #Madrid #rest #be https://www.instagram.com/p/Co0iXNlMl0c/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is the richness of self. 💯 Double tap ❤ if you like, and share it with others too so that they can learn about self-improvement.

Joanna and Ulysses, by May Sarton. I came across this vintage paperback at Crescent City Books and the blurb read as follows: “For Joanna, the month’s holiday was to be an escape, a chance to paint and think and release the bitter memories of the war in Greece and of her mother’s death. The holiday was to be a solitary experience. But that was before Joanna met Ulysses, the mistreated donkey.” How could I resist? #bookstagram #book #booklover #bookstagrammer #newbook #bookblogger #bookbuyer #books #vintage #vintagebooks #oldbooks #joannaandulysses #maysarton #crescentcitybooks #greece #booksaboutgreece #bookswithanimals #donkey #booklife #bookcommunity #paperback #vintagepaperbacks #readersofinstagram #readyforfall #booklife #cafebeignet #cafeaulait #neworleans #travelreading (at Cafe Beignet on Royal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTa-9BdLzEv/?utm_medium=tumblr

May Sarton | A Journal of Solitude

There is no doubt that solitude is a challenge and to maintain balance within it a precarious business. But I must not forget that, for me, being with people or even with one beloved person for any length of time without solitude is even worse. I lose my center. I feel dispersed, scattered, in pieces. I must have time alone in which to mull over my encounter, and to extract its juice, its essence, to understand what has really happened to me as a consequence of it. ~ #MaySarton
