Synopsis "Las Abuelas (in Spanish)"

Una alegoría con toques futuristas; un drama social londinense de raza y clase; una relación en la que la pasión en tiempo de guerra se convierte en una marchita obsesión durante la postguerra, y una trampa mortal en el seno de dos familias eróticamente entrelazadas. Los cuatro relatos que integran Las abuelas bien pueden servir como muestra de la amplia panoplia de temas, estilos y géneros literarios frecuentados por Doris Lessing.

Doris Lessing (Iran, 1919 - London, 2013), was an English writer born in Persia, spent her childhood on a farm in Zimbabwe after her family moved there in 1924. She left school at 14 and was self-educated while working as a clinic assistant, marked by a contentious relationship with her mother that led her to become independent at 17. After two marriages and three children, she settled in England in 1949, where she began her literary career with The Grass is Singing (1950), a novel that denounced racism in Africa

Her work, influenced by her life in Africa and her communist activism, merges social criticism -colonialism, racial inequality- with autobiographical explorations, as in the series Children of Violence (1952-1969). She ventured into science fiction with Canopus in Argos and addressed women's emancipation in The Golden Notebook (1962), an iconic work that made her a feminist symbol despite her rejection of the label. Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature (2007) and the Prince of Asturias Award (2001), her legacy endures as one of the most critical and visionary voices of the 20th century.
