«El tiempo, gran escultor» is the essay collection by Marguerite Yourcenar, published by Círculo de Lectores in paperback (235 pages, in Spanish).
«El tiempo, gran escultor» brings together essays in which Marguerite Yourcenar addresses Christianity, beauty and the passage of time, and reflects on eroticism in India. She evokes Countess Bathory, Dürer and his dreams, and closes with «Andalucía y las Hespérides», a text that shows her love for southern Spain.
«El tiempo, gran escultor» was published in 1990 with a translation by Emma Calatayud; the French original is «Le temps, ce grand sculpteur» (1983).
It is aimed at readers of literary essays and those who appreciate reflections on art, history and thought.
Marguerite Yourcenar was a Belgian-born French novelist and essayist who became a US citizen in 1947. Winner of the Prix Femina and the Erasmus Prize, she was the first woman elected to the Académie Française, in 1980. In 1965, she was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
