Synopsis "La Palabra Mágica (in Spanish)"

La palabra mágica es un «estuche de joyas» que contiene algunos de los textos más agudos de Augusto Monterroso (1921-2003). en los que saca a relucir su faceta de lector autárquico -de su amado Cervantes. Quiroga. Góngora. Quevedo. Montaigne o Borges-. de traductor -y nos regala perlas como "Sobre la traducción de algunos títulos"- y de mero mortal que reflexiona con su característico ingenio sobre las ínfulas de grandeza o la falsa promesa de inmortalidad que da la fama.
