Los manuscritos de la tetera: El intrépido viaje al extremo del mundo

Rate this book
Aloof and Arnica tell their tale of an epic journey from the shores of Peru to a new land at the world's edge, where the sun goes down. So small are they and their other three companions that instead of sailing in a boat they set out in an earthenware pot called a poppykettle.

Along the way they encounter mystery, danger, hazards, nature, and the dreadful knowledge that the poppykettle will carry only three of them to the Unchosen Land.

Aloof y Arnica relatan su cuento de un viaje épico de las costas de Perú a una tierra nueva en la orilla del mundo. Por el camino ellos encuentran el misterio, el peligro, la naturaleza, y el conocimiento espantoso que sólo llevarán tres de ellos a la tierra nueva.

Estaba en la secundaria cuando leí por primera vez este libro. Lo amé infinitamente porque me transportó a un viaje increíble de unos hombresitos y su ansia por vivir, sobrevivir y encontrar un nuevo lugar.

En esta relectura me di cuenta que sigue siendo un intrépido viaje, unas experiencias de perdida y desapego bastante fuertes y traumáticas y una expresión de la fantasía como pocas. Es importante añadir que los eufemismos sobre la religión te dejan mucho sobre qué pensar.

Me gustó muchísimo y me embarcaría nuevamente en este viaje.

This is a strange book - very much in the vain of the Paper Tiger books. it is the chronicles of a group of "Hairy Peruvians" and their adventures in a giant Poppykettle. as you can imagine the story is quite surreal and bizarre but at the same time very engaging - what is more the book is heavily illustrated throughout by Robert Ingpen. The book is fascinating and fun and reads like some ancient legend or historic tale. And yes this was another book unearth in one of my many changes to my book collection
