«La Cofradía de Los Celestinos» is the satirical novel by Stefano Benni, published by Siruela in paperback (293 pages, in Spanish).
A group of children escapes from an orphanage to take part in the World Streetball Championship, a street competition, and triggers persecution by the country's powers-that-be. Stefano Benni constructs an irreverent critique of society with corrosive humor, extravagant characters and an unbridled comic pace.
The Spanish-language edition was published in November 2005 with translation by César Palma. The original title is La compagnia dei Celestini, and the novel appeared in Italian in 1992.
Appeals to readers of satirical humor and contemporary Italian literature, with fantastical elements.
