«Una vuelta por mi cárcel» is a collection of travel and reflection texts by Marguerite Yourcenar, published by Alfaguara in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
Published unfinished, it brings together Yourcenar's last travel texts: alongside the American journey that goes from the East Coast to Alaska and down to San Francisco, the heart of the book is Japan, with its kabuki theater and writers such as Mishima. The author evokes the monk Bashō and leaves in these pages a melancholy and fascinated gaze at the world.
Published in 1993, it is part of Alfaguara's Literaturas collection and comes from a French original.
Aimed at the general public, with special interest for readers of travel literature and for those who want to approach Yourcenar's fascination with Japan.
Marguerite Yourcenar was a Belgian-born French novelist and essayist who became a US citizen in 1947. Winner of the Prix Femina and the Erasmus Prize, she was the first woman elected to the Académie Française, in 1980. In 1965, she was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
