Synopsis "CUANTO CUENTO! (in Spanish)"

Cuando Diluvio, el niño más alto de Nimedia, escucha que su mamá le pide que vaya a la feria a buscar una sandía, ni se imagina lo que va a pasar. ¿Quién podría imaginarse que la sandía en cuestión estaría llena de pepitas de oro? Y es de no creer lo que la gente está dispuesta a hacer por una sandía con pepitas de oro. Pero esa no es la única sorpresa que esconde ¡Cuánto cuento! Aquí, nada es lo que parece, y un hilo celeste puede ser un río, una letra puede ser una Plapla (que es una cosa muy distinta), un yacaré puede ser un colectivo ¡y vivir como una princesa puede ser muy aburrido! La fantasía, el juego y la aventura se dan cita en estos cuentos para confirmar una vez más la aguda inteligencia y la exquisita originalidad de María Elena Walsh.

María Elena Walsh was born in Buenos Aires in 1930. She was a poet, novelist, singer, songwriter, and scriptwriter for theater, film, and television. Alongside a significant body of work for children, for which she is globally recognized, she developed a substantial body of work for adults consisting of songs, novels, journalistic articles, radio columns, movies, and TV shows. A kind of cultural provocateur, she always criticized aspects of the world around her; among others, the role that patriarchal culture assigns to women and men. She was already a crucial figure in feminism when in 1976 Cancionero contra el mal de ojo, a compilation of her incisive and successful songs for adults, was released, preceded by Juguemos en el mundo (1970). Novios de antaño (1990) was her first novel for the adult audience, followed by the unclassifiable Fantasmas en el parque (2008) and several compilations of articles. She received numerous awards: the Municipal Poetry Award, the Argentores, the Gran Premio Sadaic, and the Highly Commended from the Hans Christian Andersen Award by the IBBY, among many others. Distinguished Citizen of Buenos Aires (1985) and honorary doctorate from the National University of Córdoba (2010), María Elena Walsh is a key figure in Argentine culture. She died in Buenos Aires in 2011.
