About the Book

«El mal no existe. Solo existe el poder.»

La esperada nueva novela de Albert Sánchez Piñol es la puerta de entrada a un mundo nunca visto de fantasía y revolución.

1888. Ric-Ric es un pobre diablo, un anarquista desarrapado que no encuentra otro sitio donde caerse muerto que una cueva perdida del Pirineo catalán. En esa zona, vía de paso para contrabandistas y malhechores, descubre por azar un género de setas ignorado por la civilización: los fungus, unos gigantescos hongos antropomórficos a los que Ric-Ric accidentalmente trae a la vida.

Maravillado por las extraordinarias habilidades de los fungus y su sentido de comunidad, Ric-Ric ve en ellos el arma definitiva para hacer realidad sus deseos: conquistar a la hermosa Mailís, una femme fatale a su pesar, instaurar una sociedad anarquista de verdadera fraternidad y vengarse de todo aquel que le ha tratado con crueldad, desde la guardia civil hasta el posadero local que se cree amo y señor del lugar. Comandando a los monstruosos fungus, Ric-Ric consigue reunir un invencible ejército con el que va a plantar cara, en batallas épicas y gracias a una singular estrategia militar, a las tropas del ejército español y francés.

«Un western invernal decimonónico en los Pirineos.» Así define Fungus el propio Albert Sánchez Piñol, una historia con la que vuelve a la novela fantástica. Pero, más allá del género literario, Sánchez Piñol utiliza el monstruo, la monstruosidad y las relaciones con los monstruos para hablarnos de un tema universal y siempre vigente: el poder.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Evil does not exist. Only power does."

The long-awaited new novel by Albert Sánchez Piñol is the gateway to a world of fantasy and revolution never before seen.

1888. Ric-Ric is a lost soul, a disorganized anarchist who finds no better place to live his meaningless life than a lost cave in the Catalan Pyrenees. It's there that by chance he discovers a type of mushroom unknown to civilization: the fungus, gigantic anthropomorphic mushrooms that Ric-Ric accidentally brings to life.

Amazed by the fungus' extraordinary skills and their sense of community, Ric-Ric sees in them the ultimate weapon to make his wishes come true: to conquer the love of Mailís, a femme fatale, to establish an anarchist society with true brotherhood, and get revenge on anyone who has treated him cruelly. Commanding the monstrous fungus, Ric-Ric manages to put together an invincible army with which he will face the troops of the Spanish and French armies, thanks to a unique military strategy.

This is a story with which Sánchez Piñol returns to the fantasy genre. But, beyond the literary genre, he uses the monster, its monstrosity, and the relationships with monsters to speak of a universal and always present theme: power.
