Industrias Y Andanzas de Alfanhui / The Adventures of the Ingenious Alfanhui

Rafael Sanchez Ferlosio

He aqui un libro cautivador, cuya lectura no ha dejado de asombrar desde su aparicion en 1951, en unos tiempos en que la tendencia predominante de la narrativa espanola era el realismo. Se han buscado todo tipo de linajes para esta novela insolita e inclasificable, mezcla de relato de formacion y retablo de maravillas, escrita con una prosa prodigiosa, de originalisima imagineria, y dotada del encanto intemporal de las viejas narraciones. Elegia de un mundo antiguo, de la infancia perdida, las Industrias y andanzas de Alfanhui no han dejado de suscitar todo tipo de interpretaciones, sobre las que revolotea , ingravida, su peripecia llena de gracia y de ligereza.

Resena:

Un libro extrano, un libro singular, un libro sin edad.
Camilo Jose Cela ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe hero, a magical little boy, goes in search not of his fortune but of knowledge. He meets a master taxidermist, who teaches him the trade. Alfanhui attempts extraordinary experiments - making trees sprout feathers and creating birds that grow feathers like leaves. When his house is burned down, he travels around Castile, learning about colors, oxen, herbs, and other people: a lonely giant in a wood, a puppet who thinks he is a man, and his own grandmother with her collection of mysterious locked trunks. This is a celebration of the natural world through a boy’s experiences.
