Trafalgar
Autor Angélica Gorodischer Traducere de Amalia Gladharten Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 ian 2013
Don't rush Trafalgar Medrano when he starts telling you about his latest intergalactic sales trip. He likes to stretch things out over precisely seven coffees. No one knows whether he actu-ally travels to the stars, but he tells the best tall tales in the city, so why doubt him? Trafalgar is Angélica Gorodischer's second novel to be translated into English. Her first, Kalpa Imperial, was selected for the New York Times summer reading list.
Angélica Gorodischer lives in Rosario, Argentina. She has received many awards, most recently the World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement Award.

Recenzii
Both
deeply
thoughtful
and
immensely
playful
...
Here
we
have
a
kind
of
magical
realism
for
science
fiction
...
What
is
at
the
heart
of
every
incident,
every
interlude,
is
a
luminous
exploration
of
humanity:
love,
power,
death,
the
known
and
the
unknown
...
Contemplative,
provoking,
bizarre
-
and
brilliant.
Quite,
quite
brilliant
A novel that is unlike anything I've ever read, one part pulp adventure to one part realistic depiction of the affluent, nearly-idle bourgeoisie, but always leaning more towards the former in its inventiveness and pure sense of fun
Understated and impressive ... Gorodischer takes well-worn tropes in entertaining directions that both evoke their golden age roots and transcend them with a layer of absurdism. A joy to read
Gorodischer's tales are a perfect blend of Argentine reality and sci-fi fantasy. The reader can hear every word of the original whispered behind this translation by Amalia Gladhart
