The Serpent Said: La Serpiente dijo

In 38 vignettes of considerable formal simplicity, Perry Oliver shows us his refined sense of humor, which makes us smile and think. With the pretext of using the perspective of the Serpent in Genesis, and under the guise of a deceptive simplicity (aesthetic and narrative), Oliver circumvents religious considerations and instead proposes a critical irony of certain aspects of contemporary society, like personal relationships or mass consumption. Although written (or better said, drawn) at the end of the last century, it maintains its relevance. We have a singular work in the trajectory of the author, a recognized artist (sculptor and printmaker). Although he has some inedited texts, this is not his usual medium of artistic expression. This book combines and fuses with mastery three of his passions: drawing, words, and (above all) humor. This bilingual version, English and Spanish, with its very concise idiom of short phrases and wordplay, makes an ideal exercise for students in either of these languages.En 38 vi etas de gran sencillez formal, Perry Oliver nos muestras su fino humor, que nos har sonreir y pensar. Bajo la excusa de mostrarnos el punto de vista de la Serpiente del G nesis, y bajo la apariencia de una falsa simpleza (est tica y narrativa), Oliver no entra en asuntos religiosos sino que plantea una ir nica cr tica a algunos aspectos de la sociedad actual, como la relaci n de pareja o el consumo de masas. Aunque escrito (o mejor dicho, dibujado) a finales del pasado siglo, mantiene una total vigencia. Se trata de una obra muy singular en la trayectoria del autor, reconocido artista pl stico (escultor y grabador), que aunque posee algunas obras literarias in ditas, no es ste su campo habitual de expresi n art stica. En este libro se funden magistralmente tres de sus pasiones; el Dibujo, la Palabra y (sobre todo) el Humor. Esta versi n biling e, ingl s/Espa ol, con un lenguaje muy conciso, en frases cortas y algunos juegos de palabra, la hacen id nea como ejercicios de pr cticas para estudiantes de alguno de estos idiomas.
