Overview
«Los personajes de Quino trascienden cualquier geografía, edad y condición social.» -Acta del jurado del Premio Príncipe de Asturias
«¿No sería hermoso el mundo si las bibliotecas fueran más importantes que los bancos?». Con esa convicción de lector y esa inocencia desbordada, se presenta Felipe, el tímido soñador de las tiras de Mafalda. Paladín del aplazamiento, conviven en él la ternura y la pereza, el miedo y la bondad, una imaginación sin límites y un rechazo casi filosófico al colegio. Por eso tantos lectores se han reconocido en su extraordinaria humanidad y en su celebérrima pregunta existencial:
«¿Justo a mí tenía que tocarme ser como yo?».
Lo mejor de Felipe reúne las tiras más memorables de uno de los personajes más queridos de las tiras de Mafalda, y es el primer volumen de una serie que irá reuniendo los mejores momentos de cada uno de los personajes de la inolvidable pandilla.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
FANTASTICAL, ROMANTIC, SHY, AND LAZY: IF YOU’RE A BIG FAN OF FELIPE, THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU.
“Quino’s characters transcend geography, age, and social status.” -Minutes of the Prince of Asturias Award jury
“Wouldn’t the world be beautiful if libraries were more important than banks?” With that conviction as a reader and that overflowing innocence, Felipe, the shy dreamer from the Mafalda comic strips, introduces himself. A champion of procrastination, he embodies tenderness and laziness, fear and kindness, boundless imagination, and an almost philosophical rejection of school. That is why so many readers have recognized themselves in his extraordinary humanity and his famous existential question:
“Did it have to be me who turned out the way I did?”
The Best of Felipe brings together the most memorable strips of one of the most beloved characters in the Mafalda comic strips, and is the first volume in a series that will bring together the best moments of each of the characters in the unforgettable gang.
