MEMORIAS DE UN NIÑO BOMBEROCuento mágico para niños mutantes

•

Alejandro JODOROWSKY dibujos de MAX CACHIMBA

Memorias de un niño bombero es uno de los relatos de la serie de “Cuentos

mágicos para niños mutantes” de Alejandro Jodorowsky. Entre la mística,

la genialidad y la buena literatura, Jodorowsky narra la relación de un

niño con su padre y, a través de ellos, muestra dos modos de vivir y estar

en el mundo: uno aferrado a las limitaciones de la mente, otro abierto

a todas las manifestaciones del universo.

Memorias de un niño bombero es un relato para aquellos padres dispuestos

a aprender de sus hijos y para aquellos hijos dispuestos a conocer un poco

más de sus padres, entenderlos y vivir una experiencia propia, más allá de

los mandatos y convenciones.

– ¿Ves, papá?

– ¡Sí, hijo mío, junto al mundo oscuro, danza un mundo resplandeciente!

– ¡Así es, todo está vivo, todo es doble y prodigioso! Tú apoyarás una mano en mi hombro y yo te guiaré por valles, montañas, bosques y ciudades. Viajaremos por el planeta entero domando salamandras de escarlata.

– ¡Eres mi maestro!

la estrella de madera by Marcel Schwob. Jorge Luis Borges once said: ‘Everywhere there are readers of Schwob – they constitute secret societies.’ La estrella de madera is an invitation to become part of this grateful and select group of readers. Illustrated by Alfredo Prior.

Among doses of mysticism, geniality and good literature, Jodorowsky proposes a story that is an account of a child’s re-lationship with his father, through which he shows two ways of living and being in the world : one clinging to the boundaries of the mind, and another open to all the magical manifestations of the Universe. Illustrated by the renowned cartoon illus-trator Max Cachimba.

los hombres de nieve: Although not everyone knows, once the winter is over all the snowmen hibernate in mountain caves – they await the return of the cold season to go back to the woods. Snowmen are very fond of children, their main makers. Because of this, snowmen take good care of them. This is the story of Baby and the Bear family: of how they met and how the snowment taught the bears how to take care of him and bring him back to his family.

Flores de las mil y una noches ‘ This is the story of the brave Schehere-zade, who risked her life every night in order to satisfy King Schahriar’s thirst for stories and placate his search for retaliation. Which black bird could have nested in the king’s heart to cloud his understanding and how Scheherezade could save herself from a sure death is something that only those who accom-pany us until the end of this adventure will know.’ This is the beginning of this scrupulous adaptation of some episodes of The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night. Daniel Link brings the most won-derful adventures of this classic closer to us following his original style.Illustrated by Julián Gatto.

Traveseando: is the only work thought for children conceived by poet Ricardo Zelarayán, one of the most renowned of the Argentine poetic scene. With a simple vocabulary which does not leave out a witty humour, Travesean-do wonders about issues that open our curiosity to our surroundings: what is happening with the slow extinction of glasses made of glass, with the sadness of a closed umbrella on a sunny day, issues that reappear clothed as poems, full of humour and joy. Delicately ilustrated by Guillermina Baiguera.
