Elisa facing the fetish of Louis XIV
Elisa facing the fetish of Louis XIVwritten by Luisina Rossini, is a love novel sustained by firm convictions. Pablo is an obstetrician and trusts hospital birth and protocols; Elisa, “la Colo”, accompanies young people from humble communities and believes in doulas and home birth. They meet on guard duty, facing a harsh social reality.
The bond grows, but so do the differences. When Elisa becomes pregnant, what seemed manageable becomes decisive. No one wants to give in, because doing so means giving up a way of understanding the world.
The title adds a historical reference: the “fetish of Louis XIV”, associated with the observation of births and the popularization of giving birth lying down. In the novel, this mention functions as a question: can they find a meeting point without imposing a gaze on the other’s body?
Building fully
It tells the story of Felipe, a construction worker in Argentina in the 1980s, in a context of labor informality and little protection. An accident abruptly changes his life and forces him to rebuild in a scenario without guarantees.
The novel focuses on what comes next: adapting to a new normal and building a possible life. Love appears from accompaniment and acceptance. Felipe and Beatriz do not come together from the conquest, but from mutual learning and shared daily life. Based on real events, it takes as its starting point the personal history of its author, Carlos Borda, and recovers a recognizable social memory.
In times where links are usually narrated from the impact or the slogan, these two novels choose another path. Without grandiloquence or formulas, they stage recognizable conflicts and intimate decisions that affect any reader. Therein lies its greatest strength: in telling stories that are still necessary to read.
