Manuel Mujica Láinez Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

Misteriosa Buenos Aires es una historia de la ciudad porteña donde la visión estética de los hechos, los personajes y los paisajes alcanza su realización magistral a través de relatos a veces imaginarios y a veces reales. Lo que en ella ocurre de trágico, de místico, de jocundo o de curioso forma parte de la cosmovisión de Manuel Mujica Lainez y su modo peculiar de revivir el pasado.

Lo scarabeo di lapislazzuli, prezioso gioiello destinato alla regina Nefertari, sposa del faraone Ramses II, viene sfiorato nella bottega dell'orefice reale dal tocco magico di un dio minore e comincia a vedere, a sentire, a pensare. E a raccontare la sua favolosa vita millenaria di muto spettatore e protagonista.

The medieval legend of the fairy Melusina, condemned by her mother to have the lower half of her body take the form of a serpent every Saturday, serves as the fabulous material for Manuel Mujica Láinez in this singular novel. The unicorn represents for the Middle Ages, within the author's work, what Bomarzo was for the Renaissance: a colossal poetic recreation that plays with the atmosphere of the past to offer a story of suggestive beauty, rare and absorbing. History and magic, the meticulous reconstruction of distant environments, and an original fantasy that animates every page combine in an unforgettable narrative that undoubtedly constitutes one of the masterpieces of the great Argentine writer.
