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.

Commercial grade divider suitable for many needs
Color: Beige, Size: A-132''W-6 Panel
This item will be used at a future event where we need to separate a single locker room into two large areas, without any construction. This divider is perfect for the job because the partitions can be 1 to 6 panels and it will roll into place. When the event is over, the divider will fold/roll away and the locker room will return to its original design. The unit is very heavy, which will ensure that it is sturdy and stable. All the components arrived, wrapped in plastic to prevent damage. The screen material is a woven polyester in a cream color that will occlude any visibility but it may be possible to see shadows on the opposite side. The height is about 6ft, which would require a very tall person to "peep over" the divider. I needed a quality unit for this project and the frame, screens, and mobility will meet the needs. The divider is not the same as the small decorative dividers -- it is more of a commercial grade product, yet tasteful. If you want/need a small divider as an accent piece, this is not the best choice. This item could be used in a medical office, treatment/massage room, to divide an office room into two, or block a hallway in a building.

Great option for a professional looking backdrop
Color: Black, Size: B-102''-3 Panel
I decided to try these wall dividers for my home office space since it does not have a door. I wanted to have my video calls without the rest of the room in the feed to give it a more professional feel. These being on castors make them super easy to move into position and roll off to the side when not in use. They are stable, much more than the folding screens I have tried in the past. That they are connected by the middle piece and not the top/bottom of each other allows you to adjust the positioning to your needs. Overall, this did exactly what I needed and was an affordable option. I also like that they are highly portable: if you want to take them for a booth or event, the poles all disassemble into manageable lengths that easily fit in a car and take very little time to set up again. The only thing I would change is to include a bag to store them in for transportation.

if you are going to be moving them a lot, buy something more sturdy.
Color: Black, Size: Wheel-6 Panel
I use these at our churchc. They are pretty good, not terribly study and the screw that hold the faabric have pulled out in a couple of places. But they wqould work especially well if you were not constantly moving them as we do. They are a bit of a pain to assemble.
