«Nunca me pude imaginar que alguien me ayudaría desde un tiempo tan lejano...».

Olvidada durante siglos, opacada por hombres artistas a los que se han atribuido los cuadros debidos en realidad a su genio, Sofonisba Anguissola fue una pintora extraordinaria que, sin formación pictórica ni conocimiento académico de la anatomía, se especializó en el retrato y el autorretrato, alcanzó un gran éxito en su época e, instalada en España, estuvo vinculada a la corte de Felipe II.

José María Merino narra en La novela posible la vida de esta pintora con todo el rigor histórico, pero también con toda la amenidad que posibilita la ficción. Y la historia de esta mujer deslumbrante y su tiempo se entrelaza en el libro con otras dos, situadas en la época actual: la del propio escritor que, durante el confinamiento, escribe un diario en el que deja constancia de esos días inciertos y de cómo se inocula en él la semilla de la fascinación por la figura de Sofonisba, y la de una bibliotecaria que encuentra también en la pintora renacentista un rincón donde refugiarse en medio de una ruptura amorosa.

En esta novela se mezclan de manera magistral los dos tiempos, el actual y el del Renacimiento, la realidad con la imaginación, la biografía con la autobiografía y la ficción, y la literatura con el arte.

 

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

 

«I could never have imagined thatsomeone would help me from such a distant time...».

 

Forgotten for centuries, overshadowed by male artists to whom her genius paintings were attributed to, Sofonisba Anguissola was an extraordinary painter who, without pictorial training or academic knowledge of the human anatomy, specialized in portraits and self-portraits; she achieved great success in her time and, while living in Spain, was linked to the court of Philip II.

 

In The Possible Novel, José María Merino narrates the life of this painter with great historical rigor, but also with all the levity that writing fiction can offer. The story of this dazzling woman and her time is intertwined with two others set in current times: that of the writer himself who, during confinement, writes a diary in which he records those uncertain days and how the seed of fascination for Sofonisba is living deep within him; and that of a librarian who finds refuge in the Renaissance painter which helps her overcome a heartbreak.

 

In this novel the two eras are masterfully joined, current times and the Renaissance, reality with imagination, biography with autobiography and fiction, and literature with art.

Great mental stimulation for dogs
Style: Large - Red
These ae great for my two large dogs! It holds just enough to be a nice treat instead of a full meal like some of the large freeze balls. I fill with a mixture of pumpkin, canned dog food, and a little kibble and freeze it. It keeps my big boys ( a Black Mouth Cur and a German Shepherd) busy for about 30 minutes and wears them out! They both take a lazy nap after licking for that long. The PupsCream bones do not slide across the floors and so far we havent ahd any mess from the dogs licking these. They are heavy and sturdy but you do need to supervise your pups if you have a big chewer as they are not indestructible. If you have a heavy chewer they will be able to chew pieces of this off given time. But, your dog shouldn't be using these, or any other rubber toy, unsupervised so that shouldn't be a problem. These don't replace physical exercise but are fantastic for rainy days when we can't let the dogs run and play in the yard as they are great mental stimulation. Experts say 30 minutes of licking is equal to a walk in terms of engaging their brains and calming them and from our experience this is true - our boys are tired after they empty these!

Dogs Delight!
Style: Small - Red, Style: Small - Red
I love this product! It is durable, strong and sturdy. It doesn't roll around, so the dogs can lick the contents without it going all over the floor. Same in the freezer - it sits on a shelf with no mess! The dogs enjoy their frozen fruit treats in it in summer and their softened, warm kibble with dollops of yoghurt or peanut butter, in winter. I have 4 so that 2 are in rotation everyday! I always have a new one in the cupboard in case I think of something extra to make. These make great gifts for other dog-mums/dad!

My Boy Loves His Freezer Toy
Style: Large - Red
The GoSports Pets PupCream Freezable Dog Bone Toy is seriously one of the best purchases I’ve made for my pup! He goes crazy for it every time I pull it out of the freezer. It’s adorable, but more importantly—it keeps him cool, busy, and happy. He loves to chew, and this toy is perfect for that. The material is soft enough for his teeth but still holds up really well. It stays cold for a while, which is great for hot days or when he just needs to chill out. It also helped a lot during his teething stage! Why we give it 5 stars: • Freezable for cooling relief and long playtime • Great for teething and heavy chewers • Easy to clean and reuse • Durable but gentle on teeth and gums Highly recommend this for any dog parent—especially if your pup loves chew toys and needs help staying cool. My boy is obsessed, and I love seeing how much joy it brings him!

Best for small-medium sized dogs
Style: Large - Red
For the price I bought two, one for each dog. I like the idea of this. In practice its not nearly deep as it should be. My dogs love it and spend 10, maybe 15 minutes, working to eat the inside once its frozen. I like the idea I just wish it was deeper than it is. Otherwise its great. Probably better for small-medium sized dogs. I have a 45 pound dog and 65 pound dog and its almost too small for them. Fun snack. The dogs love it. Easy to use and clean.

Great buy! My dogs love them!
Style: Large - Red
My 2 chocolate labs, both males, aged 7 & 8 love these. I've mixed banana and peanut butter, plain yogurt and topped with a few blueberries on top. Freeze them for a few hours and they LOVE them. I ended up purchasing 3 more - 1 as a gift for another dog's birthday party! I recommend these for all dogs 👍
