10 años con Mafalda / 10 years with Mafalda (Spanish Edition)

A través de Mafalda y sus amigos, Quino reflexiona con humor crítico e inteligente sobre la política, la economía y la sociedad en general. Este volumen reúne las tiras más significativas que durante los diez años de vida de Mafalda aparecieron tanto en los diarios como en los libros publicados por Quino. Las tiras se encuentran divididas por personajes y por tema (la escuela, las vacaciones…), lo cual da a los lectores una visión distinta de las aventuras de estos entrañables personajes. En esta nueva edición de colección, los lectores gozarán con las angustias de Felipe al momento de ir a la escuela; con los chismes de Susanita, quien parece saber todo lo que ocurre con la gente y animales del barrio; las bestialidades de Manolito, administrador, mercadólogo y heredero del próspero y célebre almacén “Don Manolo ; Miguelito y sus eternos conflictos existenciales; de Libertad y sus esfuerzos por llevar una vida simple; o de las ocurrencias de Guille, que pueden ir desde la creación del Gato-lupa, hasta darle propina a los gigantes que se encargan de dejar las manchas en las paredes del hogar. A medio siglo de que irrumpieran en la vida de los lectores, Mafalda y sus amigos se mantienen tan jóvenes y vigentes como siempre.

He discovered his vocation at the early age of three, guided by his uncle, who was also an artist. After finishing his schooling, he entered the Mendoza School of Fine Arts. Tired of painting urns, he decided he wanted to draw comic strips and humor. His first book, Quino s World, appeared in 1963. One year later, one of his most famous characters (and comics), Mafalda, made her debut in Leoplán magazine. His humor books have been published in several languages and in countries around the world. —- ISBN: 9786073128018
