Overview
Publicada por primera vez en 1969, Aprendizaje o El libro de los placeres despertó la polémica entre los críticos, que aún hoy debaten sus posibles interpretaciones.
Este es el relato de cómo el amor se forja en dos seres: a través de un arduo desnudamiento interno los protagonistas van recuperando su identidad hasta alcanzar la renovación vital en la mutua entrega.
En la búsqueda de su individualidad, el verdadero aprendizaje de la protagonista es cómo darle cabida a su manera de ser mujer en la sociedad. No le preocupan la maternidad, las opiniones familiares ni la soltería, sino su involuntaria resistencia a la propia vida.
