En Las edades de la rata, proyecto ganador del Premio Internacional de Novela Gráfica Fnac-Salamandra Graphic, Martín López Lam dibuja la historia de Isidoro, limeño emigrado a Europa que aspira a ser escritor, y Manuela, peruana que sólo aspira a sobrevivir, dos historias que hablan de anhelos y de la inevitabilidad del azar como sólo se hace en la buena literatura.

Esta es la obra más madura y sólida de martín lópez lam, la habilidad gráfica del autor se pone al servicio de una narración que trata sobre la expatriación y el desarraigo, y donde cabe lun realismo mágico de nueva generación que sobrevuela todo el relato.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A graphic novel about expatriation and xenophobia, where ghosts, family sagas, encounters and reunions abound, and, why not, it’s a magical realism for a new generation.

In The Ages of the Rat, winner of the Fnac-Salamandra Graphic International Prize for Graphic Novels, Martín López Lam draws the story of Isidoro, a man who emigrated from Lima to Europe who aspires to be a writer, and Manuela, a Peruvian who only aspires to survive, two stories that speak of longing and the inevitability of chance as only good literature does.

This is the most mature and solid work by Martín López Lam, the illustrative ability of the author is put at the service of a narrative dealing with expatriation and uprooting, and where there is space for a new generation of magical realism that overarches the entire story.
