    Annotation:

    In 1870, the Romantic poet Isabel Pesado travelled with her husband, Antonio de Mier, and with her sister Carmen Pesado to the United States and Europe in order to overcome the pain caused by the death of his only son. Such a long trip has to be considered a kind of therapy whose object was the recovering of her shipwrecking subjectivity. Thus, the travel implied an external and an internal trip; a death and a rebirth; an exploration of the otherness and a questioning of the self-identity. Apuntes de viaje is, over 625 pages, a trip recap, a diary, and an exercise in poetical writing at the same time, and also an attempt to exorcise the pain of a mother. Our purpose is to demonstrate how the mourning transforms the trip recap and refounds its codes and meanings creating an original discourse about the private and the public, the masculine and the feminine.
