Synopsis "reino animal, el (in Spanish)"

Los relatos que componen este libro abren nuestros ojos al universo animal y nos invitan a contemplar sus seres.

Por el ganador del Premio Cervantes 2017.

Admirados unos. temidos otros y desconocidos la mayoría. en estas páginas todos piensan. sienten y tienen conciencia de su propia finitud. Otros de los personajes son niños desamparados que han recibido en la calle apodos de animales. y al llevarnos a este doble mundo.el de los animales y el de los niños. el autor logra una riqueza de registros que va desde el reportaje a la fábula. sin que falten el humor y la ironía.

Sobre un terreno tan propicio a las simplificaciones del saber popular. Sergio Ramírez asume la sobriedad del observador imparcial. y viene así a templar esa pasión fabuladora para hacer de estos personajes algomás que máscaras humanas. Ya sean metáforas del destino. apariciones extraordinarias o presencias cotidianas. estas criaturas de El reino animal. prodigiosamente vivas. son el espejo que devuelve al hombre su propia visión deshumanizada.

Sergio Ramírez (Masatepe, Nicaragua, 1942) is one of the most prominent writers in Central America. His literary career began with stories published since 1960 and his first novel, Tiempo de fulgor, in 1970. In 1977, he joined the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) and played a key role in the revolution that overthrew the dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza. After the victory, he was vice president of Nicaragua between 1985 and 1990. However, he retired from politics in 1996 to fully dedicate himself to literature.

In 1999 he published Adiós muchachos, a testimony of his experiences during the revolution and the subsequent political frustration after the FSLN's electoral defeat in 1990. This work is considered a memoir of a generation that fought for common ideals of rebellion.
