ALFAGUARA INFANTIL JUVENIL

Synopsis "POCOPAN (in Spanish)"

¿Cuántas aventuras entran en tres cuentos? En el primero, unas cuantas. En el segundo, un montonazo. Y en el tercero, ¡una barbaridad! Para empezar, hay un castillo que es como una ciudad y que un día hace "plaf" y se desploma. Entonces sus dueños, Procopio y Pierina, tienen que aprender a mirar el mundo al ras del suelo. ¡Y hay que ver todo lo que encuentran! Luego llega la historia de Felipito, un niño que sueña con ser gaucho y de tanto soñar termina arriba del lomo de una ñandú que lo lleva hasta el mismísimo campo. Entre mates, fogones y trifulcas, Felipito vive tantas aventuras como su gran héroe, Martín Fierro. Para terminar, el solitario pastor Pocopán tiene que proteger a sus ovejas del villano Manovil. Por suerte, cuenta con la ayuda de un iguanodonte que rescata de un hielo prehistórico. Es cierto, puede sonar complicado, pero en verdad es más simple de lo que parece.

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.
