Publicada por primera vez en 1920, Alsino es la obra mayor de Pedro Prado, figura clave de la generación literaria de 1920 y del grupo Los Diez. En esta novela, Prado despliega una prosa lírica y visionaria para contar la historia de un niño campesino que, tras una caída, desarrolla una joroba que se transforma en alas. Alsino vuela. Pero su diferencia —su anhelo de elevarse por sobre el mundo— lo convierte en objeto de marginación, castigo y explotación.Con una escritura que conjuga poesía, simbolismo y crítica social, Alsino propone una profunda reflexión sobre la infancia, la imaginación, la diferencia y la represión. Esta nueva edición, enriquecida con textos de Diamela Eltit y Patricio Lizama, devuelve al presente una obra imprescindible de la literatura chilena, injustamente olvidada por generaciones.Hoy, más de un siglo después de su publicación, Alsino nos interpela con la misma fuerza: ¿qué hace una sociedad con quienes sueñan con volar? 10

    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular.
