Dos mujeres, dos épocas. Una novela que explora la identidad femenina a través del tiempo y la memoria.


Aunque soñaba con ser actriz, Sabrina terminó por estudiar Artes. Impulsada por Gabriel --su director de tesis y su amante--, decide investigar las huellas del teatro judío en la Argentina. Para eso recurre a Jaim, un viejo profesor que le sugiere revisar los restos de los archivos de la AMIA, la mutual que sufrió un atentado terrorista en 1994. "Fue en ese momento que decidí que yo me iba a dedicar a ese pasado. No es que me llamara la atención ese mundo, no más que cualquier mundo: lo que me convocaba era que hubiera desaparecido".


La investigación resulta trabada y difícil porque la mayoría de los documentos volaron con la bomba. Hasta que un coleccionista le ofrece una caja y allí descubre el diario de Jana, una actriz del teatro ídish en la Buenos Aires de 1960. Su figura es una suerte de espejo mágico para Sabrina. Seguir sus huellas se vuelve una obsesión y todo lo demás --su familia, su carrera académica, su relación con Gabriel-- pasa a segundo plano.


En La última actriz, Tamara Tenenbaum demuestra una inteligencia narrativa excepcional. Con dos personajes femeninos perturbadores y una trama tan elusiva como hipnótica, esta novela trata acerca de ser mujer, del deseo y la realización, del mito del díbuk y la posesión del cuerpo, de la tradición y la modernidad, de la ciudad de Buenos Aires y de la búsqueda de una clave existencial entre un montón de papeles quemados.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Two women, two eras. A novel that explores female identity through time and memory.

Although she dreamed of becoming an actress, Sabrina ended up studying Arts. Encouraged by Gabriel--her thesis advisor and lover--she decides to investigate the traces of Jewish theater in Argentina. To do this, she turns to Jaim, an old professor who suggests she review the remnants of the AMIA archives, the mutual society that suffered a terrorist attack in 1994. "It was at that moment that I decided I would dedicate myself to that past. It wasn't that I was particularly drawn to that world, no more than any other world: what called to me was that it had disappeared."

The investigation proves to be difficult and obstructed because most of the documents were destroyed in the explosion. Until a collector offers her a box, and there she discovers the diary of Jana, an actress in the Yiddish theater in Buenos Aires in the 1960s. Her figure becomes a sort of magical mirror for Sabrina. Following her traces becomes an obsession, and everything else--her family, her academic career, her relationship with Gabriel--takes a back seat.

In La última actriz, Tamara Tenenbaum demonstrates exceptional narrative intelligence. With two disturbing female characters and a plot as elusive as it is hypnotic, this novel is about being a woman, desire and fulfillment, the myth of the dybbuk and body possession, tradition and modernity, the city of Buenos Aires, and the search for an existential key among a pile of burnt papers.

Surprisingly Amazing!
Color: Walnut, Color: Walnut
I bought this expecting it to be a cheaper product I would use until I bought something better. I was very surprised to see how nice it was! Very solid and non slip surface on the bottom. The wood on it looks great and one of the most awesome things about it is you can manually adjust it to fit your laptop. I have a heavy16 inch MacBook Pro with a case on it and it fits perfectly in this stand, after adjusting it, of course. I ended up buying another one for my work office too. I can’t wait to try other products from this company.

INCREASED DESK SPACE - ORGANIZED
Color: Walnut, Color: Walnut
I just received my new Vertical Laptop Stand by UPERGO! I had no idea that this device could free up so much space on my desk! AND, it looks great, very rich & professional with the solid wood, Walnut dividers. It has solid weight so your laptops won't just tumble or slide away either. The dividers that hold up to 2 laptops will also hold your cell phone. What an clever invention by UPERGO! I am now able to keep both of my laptops in the same space which frees up substantial workspace for me. The feature that allows me to adjust the width for different sized laptops is GREAT. I was at wits end how to add ventilation to my laptop as it became so hot. It now runs much, much cooler because the fan/air flow is vertical as opposed to flat on my desk. So many improvements in just one device. Thanks to UPERGO for this fine device which makes my desk look better & so much more functional! I highly recommend to anyone that spends time with laptops at their desk!

Attractive and Solid Laptop Stand
Color: Walnut, Color: Walnut
The premium quality at this affordable price is a great deal to me. You'd see these sort of designs sold on high-end desk organization companies at expensive ($$) prices. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, this is a solid laptop stand that was built with the utmost attention to detail. The walnut panels are lined with scratch-resistant felt pads while the aluminum base has a silicone cushion to protect your devices when placing them in. The silicone feet and sturdy weight prevents the stand from moving and tipping over. The adjustability feature is great, especially if you want to accommodate several devices or even books. Per its specifications, I find that it accurately accommodates items ranging from 2cm (0.7in) up to 4cm (1.5in) in width. It fits my 2020 Macbook Air 13" perfectly.

Works and looks great.
Color: Walnut
Looks, fits and works great. Helps to keep the fan free to flow, and clears up desk space. Once you get one of these, you’ll probably never go back.
