The Golden Notebook is a 1962 novel by the British writer Doris Lessing. The work, considered a classic of feminist literature, tells the story of Anna Wulf, a writer who struggles to find meaning in her life and work in a turbulent world. Through four different colored notebooks, Anna explores her personal, political, emotional, and creative experiences, attempting to integrate the fragmented parts of her being into a coherent whole. This edition of Círculo de Lectores, published in 1989, features a Spanish translation by Helena Valentí and includes a prologue by Mario Vargas Llosa and a biographical sketch by Cristina Peri Rossi.
Doris May Lessing was a British novelist – sometimes identified as Rhodesian early in her career – and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2007.
