About this book

Español

Una extraña seta en el jardín

Un poemario que está lejos del mundo de la luz y de la belleza, en el que los personajes son más humanos y la naturaleza más misteriosa y fantástica. En él habitan princesas con piojos enamorados, y también princesas de alambre que no pueden bailar; sirenas que se enamoran de peces dragón; polillas y cucarachas que invaden los cerebros de la gente; y setas que no dejan de crecer. El autor se cuestiona constantemente la naturaleza de las cosas: qué es la música o cómo enfrentar la muerte, son algunos de los temas que explora con un lenguaje irónico. Como complemento de este espacio natural y onírico, están las ilustraciones de Adolfo Serra, quien colabora en este libro como creador de mundos, de personajes y de escenarios fantásticos, cada ilustración está llena de detalles que el lector tendrá que identificar para descubrirse en el universo de este poemario ganador del Premio Hispanoamericano de Poesía para Niños 2017.

English

A Strange Mushroom in the Garden

A collection of poems that is far from the world of light and beauty, in which the characters are more human and nature more mysterious and fantastic. In it live princesses with lice in love, and also princesses made of wire who cannot dance; mermaids who fall in love with dragon fish; moths and cockroaches that invade people's brains; and mushrooms that never stop growing. The author constantly questions the nature of things: what is music or how to face death are some of the themes he explores with ironic language. Complementing this natural and dreamlike space are the illustrations by Adolfo Serra, who collaborates in this book as a creator of worlds, characters and fantastic scenarios, each illustration is full of details that the reader will have to identify to discover himself in the universe of this poetry book, winner of the 2017 Hispano-American Children's Poetry Prize.
