Description
With the humor that characterizes Pedro Cifuentes, professor and cartoonist, we embark on an exciting journey through the history of literature, from the first poet Enheduanna to the work of the great Gabriel Garc.a M.rquez. Hand in hand with Calliope, Maria and Isadora, the protagonists of this book, we will visit some of its key moments, such as the codification of writing in the city of Ur or the invention of the printing press. And why not listen to some of the geniuses and characters of history? Cifuentes gives voice to Homer, Petrarch, Scheherazade, Gilgamesh, Marco Polo, Calvin or Fitzgerald, to get to know them better. The ultimate goal is not to condense the entire history of world literature, but a more modest but equally ambitious one, that of sharing with younger readers a pleasant, lively and fully contemporary vision of world literature and how formidable it is to cultivate the vice of reading, a vice full of wonderful stories.
