Overview
«Es al mismo tiempo intelectual y popular, universal y personal, transparente y honda. Un referente fundamental para poetas de todas las generaciones y en todos los rincones del español». -Acta del jurado del Premio Cervantes
Publicado originalmente en 1996 e inédito en España hasta el momento, este hermoso libro de Ida Vitale, situado a medio camino entre la prosa y la poesía, reúne cuentos, fábulas y alegorías que conforman una suerte de bestiario humano en el que la premio Cervantes uruguaya revisita algunos mitos clásicos y da cabida a la fantasía de aliento borgiano.
Con perfección formal, un inteligente manejo de la ironía y un magistral empleo de todas las posibilidades expresivas de nuestra lengua, la autora deslumbra una vez más con estas historias inquietantes en torno a la belleza, el dolor, el misterio y la profunda cuestión de la existencia. Donde vuela el camaleón es, en definitiva, una pequeña joya que amalgama no solo una poética, sino una manera de ver la vida.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Never before published in Spain, a literary gem by one of the most renowned writers in Spanish literature, recipient of the Cervantes, FIL Guadalajara, and Reina Sofía prizes.
“It is at the same time intellectual and popular, universal and personal, clear and deep. An essential reference to poets of all generations, in every Spanish-speaking corner of the world.” —Statement of the Cervantes Prize jury
First published in 1996 and unpublished in Spain until now, this beautiful book by Ida Vitale, halfway between prose and poetry, has short stories, fables, and allegories composing a sort of human bestiary in which the Uruguayan author, awarded the Cervantes Prize, revisits some of the classic myths and gives room to fantasy with a Borgesian air.
With formal perfection, a smart use of irony, and a masterful use of all expressive possibilities in the Spanish language, the author dazzles once again with these unsettling stories concerning beauty, pain, mystery, and the profound matter of existence. Where the Chameleon Flies definitely is a small gem that not only welds together a poetic work, but a way to look at life.
