«El tesoro de la sombra» is the collection of short stories and fables by Alejandro Jodorowsky, published by Debolsillo in paperback (265 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together around two hundred short pieces —stories, maxims and reflections— from two works by Jodorowsky: the one that gives this edition its name and «El paso del ganso». They combine shrewdness, poetry and an intensity that is sometimes raw, and the author himself conceives the short story as the seed of novels.
The work was originally published in 1999; this edition is number 5 in Debolsillo's Best Seller collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction and short stories looking for brief pieces with symbolic and poetic weight.
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".
