Items related to Andanzas del impresor Zollinger (Spanish Edition)
In this affecting moral fable, young August Zollinger leaves his hometown in order to save his own life, undertaking a seven-year, solitary journey of adventure and discovery that will see him try his hand at all manner of different jobs. What begins as a bitter exile ultimately becomes a voyage of enlightenment: he comes to know true love in the tiny lodge of a train station, where he receives a daily telephone call from a mysterious woman; he relishes the deepest and most loyal friendship and camaraderie in the ranks of the army; and he discovers the mysteries of nature in the ethereal majesty of the forest. Above all, however, he learns to value the inherent dignity of even the humblest professions. It is the wisdom gained during this journey that allows August to return to his village, where he can now become the printer he had always dreamed of being as a child.

Book Description Broschiert. Condition: New. 20x13 cm. 144 p., Rústica con sobrecubierta. Sprache: Spanisch, NUEVO / NEU / NEW. «En el décimo aniversario de su primera publicación, Pablo d'Ors firma una delicada fábula moral: una historia prodigiosa con ecos de Hesse, Walser y Kafka». Para salvar su propia vida, el joven August Zollinger abandona su pueblo natal y permanece lejos durante siete años, emprendiendo en solitario un camino de aventuras y descubrimientos que le llevará a ejercer todo tipo de oficios. Lo que se impone como un amargo exilio terminará por convertirse en una ruta de iluminación: conocerá el amor verdadero en la minúscula garita de una estación de ferrocarril, donde recibe todos los días la llamada oficial de una misteriosa telefonista; paladeará la camaradería y la amistad más fiel en las filas del ejército; descubrirá el misterio de la naturaleza en la evanescente grandeza de los bosques. Y, sobre todo, aprenderá a valorar la dignidad de los oficios pequeños y humildes. Los pertrechos que irá ganando a lo largo de este recorrido harán de él un hombre íntegro que puede por fin regresar a casa y convertirse en un buen impresor, el oficio con el que ha soñado desde la infancia.
