Synopsis "Simplemente Quino / Simply Quino (in Spanish)"

«Cada libro de Quino es lo que más se parece a la felicidad: la quinoterapia. -Gabriel García Márquez «Ciertas interferencias del pasado han obligado a suspender el presente hasta tanto el mismo pueda funcionar normalmente en el futuro , escuchan anonadados en sus casas y en sus trabajos los personajes de una de las originalísimas viñetas de este libro. La desbordante imaginación de Quino, el dibujante argentino ganador del Premio Príncipe de Asturias estalla en cada una de sus páginas: conocemos a la Muerte deprimida, descubrimos el colesterol de la música clásica, la cámara que vigila a Dios o el preciso memorándum sobre la inconmensurable vastedad del mar. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Quino's books are what resembles happiness the most: it's quinotherapy." --Gabriel García Márquez "Certain past interferences have forced the present to be suspended until it can function normally in the future," hear at their homes or at their jobs the dumbfounded characters of one of the utmost original comic strips in this book. The overflowing imagination of this Argentinian artist, winner of the Prince of Asturias Award, bursts out from every page: we meet a depressed Death, we discover the cholesterol of classical music, the camera that watches God, or the exact memo about the unmeasurable vastness of the sea.

Quino was born in Mendoza (Argentina, 1932-2020). He was an Argentine cartoonist and comic artist, globally known for creating Mafalda, the critical, intelligent, and world-committed girl who became a Spanish-speaking cultural icon. From a young age, he showed talent for drawing and, after leaving the School of Fine Arts, he fully dedicated himself to graphic humor. He published in numerous media and gained international recognition for his ironic and sensitive view of society, politics, and human beings. His most famous work, Mafalda, was published between 1964 and 1973, and has been translated into more than 30 languages. Additionally, Quino created dozens of graphic humor books like ¡A mí no me grite!, Gente en su sitio, or Bien, gracias, ¿y usted?. He received awards such as the Prince of Asturias Award for Communication and Humanities in 2014, recognizing his immense contribution to critical thinking and universal humor.
