About this listen

—¿Qué es un bordado?— preguntó Olga.

La abuela se detuvo, cerró los ojos y dijo:

—Un bordado es una sonrisa que dibujas con aguja e hilo en un pedazo de tela que se siente muy aburrido porque es de un solo color.

Alrededor del mundo, el bordado y los tejidos representan la historia de los pueblos que los realizan. En Guatemala, las mujeres de 23 etnias indígenas visten huipiles que narran la bitácora de sus vidas personales y las de su comunidad. Como Olga, la pequeña protagonista de este cuento seleccionado como White Raven 2014, millones de mujeres, están en la búsqueda de su historia.

Rubén Nájera, reconocido dramaturgo, ensayista y poeta, se inspiró para escribir este cuento en la vida de Olga Arriola de Geng, estudiosa del tejido tradicional guatemalteco.

«Alas para Olga» está incluido en el catálogo White Ravens de la Internationale Jugendbibliothek (International Youth Library) en 2014 y por importantes programas de lectura del Ministerio de Educación de Chile y de Guatemala.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.
