About the Book

Una novela íntima y vibrante que nos presentará a una jovencísima Lee Miller en un viaje por sus fotografías más emblemáticas con el París bohemio como telón de fondo.

Whitney Scharer recorre las múltiples facetas de la vida de la fotógrafa para otorgarle el reconocimiento que su época le negó.

Modelo de portada, musa de Man Ray y reportera gráfica durante la segunda guerra mundial, Lee Miller fue una artista casi desconocida por el público no iniciado.

El libro arranca con una Lee Miller envejecida y consumida por el alcohol en pleno intento de conservar un trabajo en la revista Vogue, tarea que cumple a regañadientes. Como ultimátum a su desidia, su editora le encarga un extenso artículo sobre el tiempo que compartió con el famoso Man Ray en el excitante París de principios de los años treinta. Así, el relato nos presenta a una jovencísima Lee decidida a hacerse un nombre en el mundo de la fotografía. El encuentro fortuito con Ray y la inesperada admisión como asistente en su estudio darán lugar a una intensa y turbulenta relación sentimental que, si bien estimulará al máximo la creatividad de ambos, los abocará a una espiral de celos y traiciones que pondrá fin al idilio de forma traumática.

Además de un delicioso paseo por el París bohemio, con sus legendarios cafés, sus cabarets cargados de humo y sus fiestas surrealistas, La edad de la luz es también un viaje por las fotografías más emblemáticas de Miller como reportera, a través de escenas intercaladas en la narración. Pero, sobre todo, es el retrato de una mujer presa de enormes contradicciones e inseguridades, dotada de un talento y una valentía fuera de lo común que la han convertido en un icono del siglo XX.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

One of the Best Books of the Year: Parade, Glamour, Real Simple, Refinery29, Yahoo! Lifestyle. A startlingly modern love story and a mesmerizing portrait of a woman's self-transformation from muse to artist. --Celeste Ng, author of Little Fires Everywhere

I'd rather take a photograph than be one, Lee Miller declares after she arrives in Paris in 1929, where she soon catches the eye of the famous Surrealist Man Ray. Though he wants to use her only as a model, Lee convinces him to take her on as his assistant and teach her everything he knows. As they work together in the darkroom, their personal and professional lives become intimately entwined, changing the course of Lee's life forever.

Lee's journey of self-discovery takes took her from the cabarets of bohemian Paris to the battlefields of war-torn Europe during WWII, from inventing radical new photography techniques to documenting the liberation of the concentration camps as one of the first female war correspondents. Through it all, Lee must grapple with the question of whether it's possible to stay true to herself while also fulfilling her artistic ambition--and what she will have to sacrifice to do so.
