Adventures of the Ingenious Alfanhui

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.

These are the adventures of a magical little boy which will appeal to both children and adults.

AUTHOR:
Rafael Sanchez Ferlosio, the son of a Spanish father and an Italian mother, was born in Rome in 1927. He is one of Spain's most celebrated novelists, and yet his reputation is based largely on two novels: his first book, The Adventures of the Ingenious Alfanhui, (1951) and The Jarama (1956), which won the Spanish National Critics' Prize. One is a children's fantasy for adults, the other a minute dissection of one tiny chunk of reality.Since their publication, both have acquired the status of classics in Spain: they have both been reprinted dozens of times and sparked a vast amount of literary criticism.
