En la lista de los mejores libros del 2023 de Babelia Una novela sobre la ansiedad y el poder sanador de las historias de las mujeres que nos precedieron. Un viaje por heridas personales y luchas universales a través del arte y la literatura. «Un libro híbrido y maravilloso, tan monumental como íntimo. Sus palabras resuenan simultáneamente en nuestra sensibilidad política y poética: con La historia de los vertebrados todas las locas entendemos las razones de nuestra melancolía y nos ponemos a cantar».—Marta Sanz «El 20 de diciembre de 2015 me convertí en madre y enloquecí. [...] Ese mismo día, España votaba en las primeras elecciones en las que participaba un nuevo partido [...], y la esperanza del cambio planeaba sobre la jornada. Al anochecer, cuando yo contaba contracciones en la sala de dilataciones, el país contaba escaños. Y ambas cuentas confluyeron en una nueva vida para mí, porque uno de esos escaños iba a ser mío. El mismo día del nacimiento de mis hijos, me convertí en diputada del Congreso». El que debería haber sido el día más feliz en la vida de la narradora de esta novela se convierte en el inicio de una historia de locura. La ansiedad se apodera de ella y el peso del mundo cae sobre sus hombros por partida doble: debe cuidar a sus mellizos recién nacidos y dar voz a los que han confiado en ella. Esta historia indaga en una herida personal para conectar con luchas universales, y es un viaje a través del arte, la literatura, la mitología y la historia de la medicina. Con maestría, Mar García Puig convierte la experiencia personal en un relato que nos habla de todas las mujeres que alguna vez han sentido que la cordura las abandonaba y de todos los hombres que las han silenciado amparados por siglos de ciencia, mitos y política. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Listed on Babelia's Best Books of 2023 A novel about anxiety and the healing power of the stories of the women who came before us. A journey through personal wounds and universal struggles through art and literature. “On December 20, 2015, I became a mother and lost my mind... That very same day, Spain was holding the first elections that included a new party... and the hope for change soared over that day. By nightfall, when I was counting contractions in the delivery room, the country was counting seats. And both counts converged in a new life for me since one of those seats would be mine. The day my sons were born, I became a congresswoman.” What was supposed to be the best day in the life of the novel’s narrator becomes the beginning of an insane story. Anxiety takes hold of her and the weight of the world falls twofold onto her shoulders: she must take care of her new-born twins and be a voice for those who put their trust in her. This story probes into a personal wound to make a connection with universal struggles. It is a journey through art, literature, mythology, and the history of medicine. Done masterfully, Mar García Puig turns a personal experience into a tale that speaks of all the women who have felt as if they were losing their sanity and all the men that silenced them, sheltered by centuries of science, myth, and politics.
