The Charm of the Beast

  • J.M. Olaizola "Txiliku"::Piztiarios Elkar, 2012
J.M. He just published a very special book. Olaizola Txiliku; at least one of those dedicated to traditional literature. However, it belongs to the style that reached great fame in the Middle Ages. It mixes its two usual passions, literature and science, even though the primary goal or intention is literary. Taking the words of the author, “this book would perhaps resemble the false documentary that is mentioned in the movies”.

Animals are the main theme of animals. They try to explain their nature and their customs. Sometimes the animal deals with real animals, but it is no wonder that authenticity is confused with imagination. This kind of work will describe animals invented on other occasions. It is never a mere description, as superstitions, moral expressions and examples always go with it. It manifests the desire to teach.

In this book there are 54 beasts attached to two full alphabets. The 27 beasts of the first alphabet are animals created by imagination, brought from ancient beasts and fantasy books. The other 37 of the second alphabet are real animals, aligned with the norms of nature and the path of abolition. In any case, they are rare.

As usual on the hires, Txiliku's book is illustrated. The drawings are by José Belmonte Rocandior.
