TOBOGÁN DE HAMBRIENTOS

Through Tobogán de hambrientos by Camilo José Cela, the mob of characters who swarm through that bitter and difficult world of little people who are born, grow up, love, hate and die at the unbridled rhythm of the laughter, crying, dreams and pain. This novel, which has the shape of a marzipan thread, a whiting that bites its own tail, a tale of the good pipe, is the very essence of the most popular Cela, the Cela that masterfully recreates the bustle of the people who climb and that descends tirelessly to the carousel of the merry-go-round of streets, neighborhoods and towns, that tireless anthill, that accelerated hive in which, from a bird's eye view, nothing ever stops, nothing interrupts its permanent struggle, its permanent heartbeat.Humour, heartbreak, irony, tenderness, grotesqueness, intelligence, poetry, all the ingredients of Capet Vetonic notes, that great literary invention of Cela - of the most traditional Cela, of the most popular author that our literature has probably known - come together here in the most finished example of a style that has already become classic. - back of book
