Book Synopsis
«El libro de Emma Larreta es un viaje desgarrador, honesto y lleno de luz al mundo de la violencia machista.Un imprescindible testimonio de primera mano de un viaje de las tinieblas a la esperanza». -Isabel CoixetEl 2 de abril de 2007 su expareja le asestó veintisiete puñaladas en plena calle.
Cuando despertó del coma, había vuelto a nacer.
Esta historia comienza en las tinieblas y avanza gracias a la superación, el optimismo y la inspiración. Emma Larreta narra su vida, con sus errores y sus aciertos, pero sobre todo relata cómo todo cambió aquel día en el que su vida pendió de un hilo. Tras este episodio, y mientras se recuperaba de unas secuelas que le causaron discapacidad permanente, comenzó una exitosa carrera como activista y concienciadora social. Se encomendó la tarea de poner rostro a la violencia y a través de sus talleres llevar a la juventud hacia la reflexión y superación de esta lacra mundial. Hoy, 17 años después, se ha convertido en un referente en nuestro país. Su objetivo es demostrar que para defendernos de la violencia se ha de disponer de las herramientas y de la educación adecuadas. Con optimismo, sentido del humor y mucha esperanza, El mapa de mis cicatrices es una cruda y valiente historia, el necesario testimonio de una mujer que apostó por la vida sin esconder ni una sola de sus cicatrices. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION On April 2nd, 2007, her ex-boyfriend stabbed her twenty-seven times right on the street.
When she woke up from the coma, she had been reborn. This story begins in shadows and progresses due to coping, optimism, and inspiration. Emma Larreta tells her life story, with her rights and wrongs, but most of all, she tells the story of how everything changed that day, when her life was hanging by a thread. After that episode, and while recovering from sequels that caused her permanent disability, she began a successful career as activist, raising social awareness. She gave herself the task to put a face to violence, and through her workshops lead youths to reflect upon and overcome this world scourge. Today, 17 years later, she has become a reference in Spain. Her goal is to prove that in order to defend ourselves from violence we must have the right tools and knowledge. With optimism, humor, and plenty of hope, A Map of My Scars is a raw and brave story, the necessary testimony of a woman who chose to live and not hide a single one of her scars.
