«Por un tornillo» is Ignacio Padilla's children's fable, published by Fondo de Cultura Económica in paperback (55 pages, in Spanish).
Centuries ago, some conquistadors find a machine in the jungle and found a town to guard it. As time passes, no one remembers what it is for, though everyone considers it essential. When it loses a screw and begins to fall apart, the town believes the end of the world has come. An illustrated fable about memory, symbols, and technology.
Published in 2009 in the A la orilla del viento collection (number 200) by Fondo de Cultura Económica; with illustrations by Trino.
Aimed at children and young readers aged 8 to 12 who enjoy illustrated fables.
Ignacio Padilla was a Mexican writer whose works were translated into several languages. Padilla helped found the Crack Movement, along with fellow writers Eloy Urroz, Jorge Volpi, and Pedro Angel Palou, as a means for Mexican authors to find their own voice and write beyond magic realism.
