Perks of working in a primary school: you get to read random, kind of depressing little picture books.

OMG YES
So beautiful and sad, but beautiful, but sad... You got the point. I loved it.

Weird and wonderful, in its own way. A quick read, cicada is stuck in a job with no respect or reward until the day he retires, after which is there really any point anymore?

An ode to retirement, a scathing take-down of meaningless jobs, a sad portrayal of discrimination in the workplace, with just enough hope for transformation.

A Cigarra é um pequeno livrinho que prova que não é preciso ser extremamente complexo para ser brilhante. O sentido de humor (negro) que lhe percorre as páginas, a melancolia de que estão impregnadas as imagens resultam numa "leitura" estranhamente deliciosa onde o absurdo (e o surreal - que é o cunho do autor) são as ferramentas perfeitas para desmascarar a vida humana contemporânea.

Cigarra cuenta historia. Historia buena. Historia simple. Historia incluso humano entiende. ¡Tac, tac, tac!
