Aparicion del Eterno Femenino = Appearance of the Eternal Feminine (in Spanish)
Pombo, Alvaro
Synopsis "Aparicion del Eterno Femenino = Appearance of the Eternal Feminine (in Spanish)"
Dos primos inseparables de unos doce anos, el Ceporro y el Chino, viven en el gran piso de su abuela, despues de la guerra civil. Don Rodolfo, que fue sparring de Uzcudun, les da clases de gimnasia y boxeo. Al fondo, ecos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el mariscal Rommel y el Imperio Nipon. De repente aparece una nina alemana, huerfana, refugiada, y lenta, y decisivamente todo cambia, como nos cuenta Ceporro, que es quien tiene la palabra y, por tanto, es el Rey. Ademas de la bellisima historia de adios a la infancia y de la colorida galeria de secundarios, habitual en Pombo, el gran acierto estilistico de este libro es el hallazgo de la voz del narrador, el tratamiento de las peculiaridades lexicas y sintacticas del modo que tiene Ceporro, charlatan infatigable, de narrar las cosas. / Two inseparable cousins around 12 years of age, Ceporro and Chino, live in the large flat that belongs to their grandmother after the Civil War. Don Rodolfo, who used to go sparring with Uzkudun, gives them boxing classes. Echoes of the Second World War, Field Marshal Rommel and the Nippon Empire provide the backdrop to the story, and then a young German girl, an orphan and a refugee, appears out of nowhere. As well as being a beautiful story about saying goodbye to childhood, its greatest achievement is the voice of its narrator, Ceporro the tireless charlatan.
