Overview
Melodramática, chismosa, maternal, egocéntrica... Y, aun así, nos encanta Susanita.
«Los personajes de Quino trascienden cualquier geografía, edad y condición social.» - Acta del jurado del Premio Príncipe de Asturias
«¡Hijitos! Eso es lo único que le pido a la vida», anuncia Susanita con su peinado impecable y una muñeca en los brazos. La niña que sueña con el matrimonio, muchos hijitos y una vida acomodada mientras reparte cotilleos, prejuicios y melodrama con total desparpajo es la protagonista de este libro que reúne sus viñetas más memorables. Su ambición de salón, su egoísmo feroz, sus simplificaciones, sus convencionalismos, su carácter enamoradizo y cotilla y sus infinitos prejuicios chocan con la lucidez de Mafalda y convierten cada escena en conflicto y risa.
Con humor certero y sin indulgencia, Quino dibuja un retrato tan maternal como altivo y envidioso, un espejo satírico de un modelo de mujer que nos hace reír y, de paso, mirarnos de reojo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Melodramatic, gossipy, maternal, egocentric... And yet we love Susanita.
“Quino’s characters transcend any geography, age, or social status.” —Minutes of the Prince of Asturias Award jury
“Children! That’s all I ask of life,” announces Susanita with her impeccable hairstyle and a doll in her arms. The girl who dreams of marriage, lots of children, and a comfortable life while spreading gossip, prejudice, and melodrama with total self-assurance is the protagonist of this book, which brings together her most memorable cartoons. Her social ambition, fierce selfishness, simplifications, conventionalism, flirtatious and gossipy nature, and endless prejudices clash with Mafalda’s lucidity and turn every scene into conflict and laughter.
With accurate and uncompromising humor, Quino paints a portrait that is as maternal as it is haughty and envious, a satirical mirror of a model woman who makes us laugh and, in passing, look at ourselves sideways.
