Trafalgar: Penguin Science Fiction
Autor Angélica Gorodischer Traducere de Amalia Gladharten Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 aug 2020
Part pulp adventure, part otherworldly meditation, this is the story of Trafalgar Medrano: intergalactic trader and lover of bitter coffee and black cigarettes. In the bars and cafés of Rosario, Argentina, he recounts tall tales of his space escapades - involving, among other things, time travel and dancing troglodytes.

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
