Overview
La vejez según el humorista que se ganó la inmortalidad
«Cada libro de Quino es lo que más se parece a la felicidad: la quinoterapia.»—Gabriel García Márquez
«El efecto inmediato de tener en las manos De Senectute es que se dibuja una amplia sonrisa en el rostro antes incluso de abrir la primera página.»—Celia Fraile Gil, ABC
Si hubo una edad a la que Quino dedicó su mirada más mordaz, tierna e irreverente fue sin duda la vejez. Sus ancianos, que se encuentran en el «otoño de la vida» o tal vez en la «primavera de la muerte», son conmovedores, filósofos, irascibles y desprejuiciados, y aparecen en sus viñetas llenos de un vigor exultante y de un humor a prueba de bombas.
De Senectute es una nueva muestra del genio inagotable de Quino y de su capacidad para hacernos reflexionar sobre nosotros mismos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Old age according to the humorist that earned immortality.
“Quino’s books are what resembles happiness the most—it’s quinotherapy.” —Gabriel García Márquez
“The immediate effect of having Old Age in your hands is that it puts a big smile on your face even before you turn the first page.” —Celia Fraile Gil, ABC
If there was ever an age to which Quino set his most sharp, tender, and irreverent gaze was undoubtedly old age. His old people, who are in the “autumn of life” or maybe in the “spring of death,” are heartwarming, philosophical, hot-tempered, and unprejudiced, and appear in his vignettes brimming with exultant vigor and bombproof humor.
Old Age is yet another proof of Quino’s infinite genius and his capacity to make us reflect about ourselves.
