«El tesoro de la sombra» is the book of short stories and fables by Alejandro Jodorowsky, published by Siruela in hardcover (272 pages, Spanish).
The volume brings together two books by the author: the one that gives the edition its title and «El paso del ganso». There are nearly two hundred brief pieces —stories, maxims and reflections— combining sharpness, lyricism and rawness. Jodorowsky himself describes these minimal tales as seeds of novels capable of condensing an extensive recreation into a few lines.
The book belongs to the Libros del Tiempo collection (no. 169); the Siruela edition was published in 2003. Alejandro Jodorowsky is also a cult film director («El Topo», «Santa sangre»).
For adult readers who enjoy short stories and brief narrative, and for those interested in the work of Alejandro Jodorowsky.
Alejandro Jodorowsky Prullansky is a Chilean and French avant-garde filmmaker. Known for his films El Topo (1970), The Holy Mountain (1973) and Santa Sangre (1989), Jodorowsky has been "venerated by cult cinema enthusiasts" for his work which "is filled with violently surreal images and a hybrid blend of mysticism and religious provocation".
