    He aquí un libro cautivador, cuya lectura no ha dejado de asombrar desde su aparición en 1951, en unos tiempos en que la tendencia predominante de la narrativa española era el realismo.Se han buscado todo tipo de linajes para esta novela insólita e inclasificable, mezcla de relato de formación y retablo de maravillas, escrita con una prosa prodigiosa, de originalísima imaginería, y dotada del encanto intemporal de las viejas narraciones. Elegía de un mundo antiguo, de la infancia perdida, las Industrias y andanzas de Alfanhuí no han dejado de suscitar todo tipo de interpretaciones, sobre las que «revolotea», ingrávida, su peripecia llena de gracia y de ligereza.Reseña:«Un libro extraño, un libro singular, un libro sin edad.»Camilo José CelaENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe hero, a magical little boy, goes in search not of his fortune but of knowledge. He meets a master taxidermist, who teaches him the trade. Alfanhui attempts extraordinary experiments - making trees sprout feathers and creating birds that grow feathers like leaves. When his house is burned down, he travels around Castile, learning about colors, oxen, herbs, and other people: a lonely giant in a wood, a puppet who thinks he is a man, and his own grandmother with her collection of mysterious locked trunks. This is a celebration of the natural world through a boy's experiences.

    This is the first English translation of The Adventures of the Ingenious Alfanhui, a picaresque novel in which the hero, a magical little boy, goes in search not of his fortune but of knowledge, growing both wiser and possibly sadder in the process. 'In his dedication, Ferlosio describes this exquisite fantasy novel, first published in 1952 and now beautifully translated into English as a 'story full of true lies.' Much honored in his native Spain, Ferlosio is a fabulist comparable to Jorge Borges and Italo Calvino, as well as Joan Miro and Salvador Dali. Cervantes comes to mind. Ferlosio's prose is effortlessly evocative. A chair puts down roots and sprouts 'a few green branches and some cherries, ' while a paint-absorbing tree becomes a 'marvelous botanical harlequin.' Later, Alfanhui sets off on a tour of Castile, meeting his aged grandmother 'who incubated chicks in her lap and had a vine trellis of muscatel grapes and who never died.' This is a haunting adult reverie on life and beauty and as such will appeal to discriminating readers.' Starred review in Publisher's Weekly
