Olvidado rey Gudú
Ana María Matute
Olvidado Rey Gudú es una de las grandes novelas de este siglo. Repleta de fábulas y fantasías, narra el nacimiento y la expansión del Reino de Olar, con una trama llena de personajes, aventuras y de un paisaje simbólico: el misterioso Norte, la inhóspita estepa del Este y el Sur, rico y exuberante, que limitan la expansión del Reino de Olar, en cuyo destino participan la astucia de una niña sureña, la magia de un viejo hechicero y las reglas del juego de una criatura del subsuelo. Tejida de realidad y leyenda, de pasado y presente, Olvidado Rey Gudú constituye también una gran metáfora del alma humana y su historia, alentada por los deseos y las inquietudes que desvelan al ser humano desde hace siglos.
