Summary
A literary sensation in twenty-eight countries: a passionate and moving philosophical novel that proposes an initiation into beauty and life in 52 masterpieces. Finalist, Grand Prix RTL-Lire Magazine Littéraire 2024. Fifty-two weeks: that'll all the time allotted to ten-year-old Mona to appreciate all the beauty in the world. With the girl at risk of going blind, her scholarly and eccentric grandfather assigns himself the task of introducing her to a work of art every Wednesday after school. Together, they visit Paris's three great museums -- the Louvre, Orsay and Beaubourg (Centre Pompidou) -- and immerse themselves in the contemplation of paintings and sculptures so that their beauty and philosophy will permeate Mona's psyche and leave her with their indelible imprint. Through the eyes of Botticelli, Vermeer, Goya, Frida Kahlo and Basquiat, Mona learns about generosity, doubt, melancholy, autonomy and indignation, incorporating these powerful lessons into her daily life. Los ojos de Mona is a novel of initiation into art and life that explores the luminous relationship between grandfather and granddaughter. A story full of gorgeous sentiments that became a literary phenomenon even before its publication in France.
