Rufus es un murciélago: de día duerme colgado del techo de su cueva y de noche sale a cazar. Una noche descubre un cine al aire libre y, por primera vez, ve colores brillantes en la pantalla. Deslumbrado, Rufus decide que ya no quiere vivir en la oscuridad. Publicado en 1961, este clásico de Tomi Ungerer se suma a sus álbumes protagonizados por animales poco convencionales —la boa Críctor, la canguro Adelaida o el pulpo Emilio— y critica con humor los prejuicios de la sociedad hacia quien es diferente o se aparta de los cánones establecidos.

English Translation

Rufus: The Bat Who Loved Colors

Rufus is a bat who sleeps upside down in his cave by day and hunts by night. Then one evening he discovers an open-air cinema, and for the first time he sees bright, glowing colors on the screen. Dazzled, Rufus decides he no longer wants to live in a world of darkness. First published in 1961, this classic by Tomi Ungerer follows his celebrated tales of unconventional animal heroes
taking on bold adventures, and gently criticizes society's prejudice toward anyone who is different or refuses to fit the established mold.
