«El hipopótamo» is the humorous novel by British writer Stephen Fry, published by Seix Barral in paperback (280 pages, in Spanish).
Ted Wallace, a disillusioned poet and theater critic, agrees to spend some time at Swafford Hall, the country mansion of his old friend Logan. There he encounters inexplicable cures and episodes that seem miraculous, and his skepticism is challenged as events race towards a surprising denouement.
Translation by Pilar Giralt Gorina of the English original The Hippopotamus (1994); this Spanish edition was published in 1995.
A novel for readers who appreciate biting British comedy, with echoes of Evelyn Waugh and Kingsley Amis.
