One day, when she is 12 years old, Marfa's father sends her to live with her uncle in the city so that she can learn about the world. However, as soon as she gets there things start to go wrong. Her uncle treats her cruelly and locks her up in the room until it is time for him to go on his way. When she finally escapes, Marfa meets a strange boy named Alberto who saves her.
Leonora Carrington's "The Hearing Trumpet" is a surrealist work that tells the story of a man who receives an invitation to the world of dreams, where he meets its ruler, the Marquis de Sade. Appearing as a hearing trumpet in his ear, the Marquis claims him for his own. As he deals with his new reality, he becomes aware of the Marquis's power over him and is horrified by what he must do to win back his freedom.
"A great deal of the power of Carrington's work is in the accumulation of what might at first seem to be unrelated, disjointed events," says Ms. Carr, who, in her book The Hearing Trumpet: The Life and Art of Leonora Carrington, writes that "her writing often seems like a set of disconnected fragments" (3).
