BOOKS OF THE WORLD| Jean Rhys

Greetings to all listeners. I'm back with another episode packed with incredible content. It's an honor to share this space and time with you.

Today I'm opening a book that isn't on any bookshelf: the one that is written with every page that transforms us. We travel the world in search of new stories, because reading is crossing borders without a passport. And every story is a cultural compass.

If you remember yesterday's episode, I talked about the treatment of women in new literary, but especially psychiatric movements. Today I'm bringing this to literature, through the work of Jean Rhys, an author who combines her Anglo-Caribbean cultural diversity with the situation of women in her time.

Most of Rhys's works deal with women displaced from their natural environments and left to the whims of societies with weak family values, reflecting her own experiences. Her style is often characterized by its blend of modernist techniques, which were prevalent at the beginning of the 20th century. 20th century and the sensibilities of the Caribbean society from which she came.

If this literary journey inspired you, recommend it. And if you have a book that changed your life, tell me about it. Until the next episode!
