La Ridícula Idea de No Volver a Verte

When Rosa Montero read the wonderful diary that Marie Curie began after the death of her husband, and which is included at the end of this book, she felt that the story of this fascinating woman who faced her time filled her head with ideas and emotions. The ridiculous idea of never seeing you again was born from that fire of words, from that vertiginous whirlwind. In line with Curie's extraordinary career, Rosa Montero builds a narrative halfway between personal memory and the memory of all, between the analysis of our time and intimate evocation. They are pages that speak of overcoming pain, of relationships between men and women, of the splendor of sex, of the good death and the beautiful life, of science and ignorance, of the saving power of literature and of the wisdom of those who learn to enjoy existence fully and lightly. Alive, free and original, this unclassifiable book includes photos, memories, friendships and anecdotes that convey the primitive pleasure of listening to good stories. An authentic, exciting and complicit text that will catch you from its first pages.
