Bella edición tapa dura de colección - A través de Mafalda y sus amigos, Quino reflexiona con humor crítico e inteligente sobre la política, la economía y la sociedad en general. Este volumen reúne las tiras más significativas que durante los diez años de vida de Mafalda aparecieron tanto en los diarios como en los libros publicados por Quino. Las tiras se encuentran divididas por personajes y por tema (la escuela, las vacaciones...), lo cual da a los lectores una visión distinta de las aventuras de estos entrañables personajes. En esta nueva edición de colección, los lectores gozarán con las angustias de Felipe al momento de ir a la escuela; con los chismes de Susanita, quien parece saber todo lo que ocurre con la gente y animales del barrio; las bestialidades de Manolito, administrador, mercadólogo y heredero del próspero y célebre almacén "Don Manolo"; Miguelito y sus eternos conflictos existenciales; de Libertad y sus esfuerzos por llevar una vida simple; o de las ocurrencias de Guille, que pueden ir desde la creación del Gato-lupa, hasta darle propina a los gigantes que se encargan de dejar las manchas en las paredes del hogar. A medio siglo de que irrumpieran en la vida de los lectores, Mafalda y sus amigos se mantienen tan jóvenes y vigentes como siempre.

Since its creation in 1964, readers from all over the world have loved the comic Mafalda, primarily because of the sharp wit and rebellious nature of its title character—a four-year-old girl who is wise beyond her years. Through Mafalda, Argentine cartoonist Joaquín Salvador Lavado explores complex questions about class identity, modernization, and state violence. In Mafalda: A Social and Political History of Latin America's Global Comic—first published in Argentina in 2014 and appearing here in English for the first time—Isabella Cosse analyzes the comic's vast appeal across multiple generations. From Mafalda breaking the fourth wall to speak directly to readers to express her opposition to the 1966 Argentine coup, to Spanish students' protest signs bearing her face, to the comic's cult status in Korea, Cosse provides insights into the cartoon's production, circulation, and incorporation into social and political conversations. Analyzing how Mafalda reflects generational conflicts, gender, modernization, the Cold War, authoritarianism, neoliberalism, and much more, Cosse demonstrates the unexpected power of humor to shape revolution and resistance.
