Antonio Martorell abre las gavetas del armario para revelar lo oculto mediante un conjunto de breves relatos y una sucesión de imágenes misteriosas: un sombrero, una falda, unos tirantes, un pantalón, un anillo. Las partes permiten imaginar el todo. En esa búsqueda iluminadora, el armario se va transformando en almario de la intimidad donde aparecen el tiempo perdido, las voces, los cuerpos, el placer sensual, los fantasmas. Los diferentes significados de vestir y desvestir se sostienen en la poética de un espacio recóndito. Como en un sueño, lo ausente se hace presente mediante imágenes y recuerdos. Andrew Hurley - el brillante colaborador y traductor de Martorell - señala con agudeza que esa poética evoca la fantasía de Alicia en el pais de las maravillas. ¿Qué se ve y qué se oye? Atravesando el espejo, se descubre el potencial de cada prenda. Viene también a la memoria el clásico soneto del poeta Garcilaso de la Vega, "¡Oh dulces prendas por mi mal halladas...". Pero en el puertorriqueño almario de Martorell las prendas no connotan desamparo y muerte. Al contrario. Al mostrarlas, iluminan el deseo de vivir, de testimoniar, modulando la voz propia y reinventándose una y otra vez.

With a series of brief stories and a succession of mysterious images, Antonio Martorell opens the closet (the armario, in Spanish) and the dresser drawers to reveal what's inside: a hat, a skirt, a pair of suspenders, a pair of pants, a ring. The parts allow us to imagine the whole. But this illuminating voyage a l'armoire also takes us inward, soulward, 'to a place where we find lost times, voices, and bodies as well as a hint of sensual pleasure and not a few ghosts. The different connotations, suggestions, meanings of "putting on" and "taking off," "dressing" and "undressing" become "embodied" in the poetics of a private, hidden, perhaps inner space. As in a dream, the absent becomes present in images and memories. Andrew Hurley - the brilliant collaborator and translator of Martorell - shrewdly points out that that poetics evoke the fantasy of Alice in Wonderland. What is seen and what is heard? Stepping through the looking-glass, the potential of each garment, each article of dress, is discovered. One also recalls the classic sonnet by Garcilaso de la Vega: "O sweet garments by me ill found!.." But in the Puerto Rican armario/almario (a closet for souls, one might say), the garments do not connote abandonment or death. On the contrary. When they "come out," they illuminate the desire to live, to bear witness, the voice modulating, the garments, and the artist, reinventing themselves over and over again.

Miracle cream!
This cream is unbelievable. goes in instantly, makes hands soft after one application and creates a barrier to protect your hands against cold and water. I live in VT and have tried numerous "extreme" hand creams that are heavy and greasy and useless~ this one is the best. I also like that it is fragrance-free except for that mild "Avene" spring water smell. I have two tubes, one for my night table and one next to the kitchen sink. I am 47 and have tried numerous face and body products`` you could say I used to be a "junkie" :) but I always come back to Avene. I have extremely sensitive skin and Avene products are a life saver.

My 75 year old hands appear softer and younger!
Avene Cicalfate Restorative Hand cream leaves my hands feeling very soft! A little goes a long way, I have had mine for a year. Soon I will be purchasing another tube. Yes, it is a little pricey for a hand cream, but does the job better then any other product I have used on my hands. Highly recommend this hand cream if you have dry, sensitive skin. It also has no added fragrance which I really appreciate!

Excellent product at a very good price. I will buy it again.
This is an excellent product at a fair price. The cream creates a barrier that protects the skin, while mosturizes it. leaves hands very soft, and it doesn't feel greasy. I know that this is a favorite brand (Avene) in France, and Amazon offers it at a very good price. I will buy it again, from Amazon. I bought it this year in Paris, and it was more expensive there.

Drying formula and smell bad
Smell so bad and made my hands dry instead of moisturizing. The formula is watery. Maybe it’s fake or expired I am not sure.
