Politics according to Mafalda

Mafalda first saw the light of day on September 29, 1964: a character of a cute, daring, rebellious and philosophical girl at the time of Mitzvah living in Argentina in the 1960s and early 1970s - before man reached the moon, when there were no cell phones or personal computers; Diego Maradona was still a little boy, Che Guevara had three years left to live and Messi wasn't even in the plans. As a daughter of a typical middle-class family from Falda, she goes to school, hangs out with her gang of friends, and when her parents settle the bills, they go to the beach in the summer. But Mafalda is not a child as much as childhood: she is a feminist, a fan of the Beatles, a bitter enemy of soups, and lives in constant conflict with the adults. Humble, curious and committed to society, she cares about the world and does not understand how the adults can manage it so badly. She is a ruthless social warrior firing political manifestos from her little chair, and her innocent questions and lofty ideals cross national borders on their way to conquering South America, conquering Europe and Asia and winning an iconic place in the collective imagination. Two generations in Latin America and the world were educated with Mafalda, and she managed to convey powerful lessons about equality, politics, social criticism and everyday life, with great humor and irony. Nine Souls presents with infinite excitement and pride the first translation of Mafalda's books into the Hebrew language.

The economic crisis according to Mafalda "In the end humanity is just a meat sandwich between heaven and earth" The family according to Mafalda "Mother, what would you like to be if you had a life?" Politics according to Mafalda "From where do you start pushing this country so that it moves forward?" "It doesn't matter what I think of Mafalda. What matters is what Mafalda thinks of me." Julio Cortácer "Mafalda is not just a comic book character... Mafalda is a real angry heroine, who rejects the world as it is." Umberto Eco This edition of "Mafalda" was printed 978 years after the invention of printing in China and two weeks before the elections to the twenty-first Knesset in Israel, which will see Mafalda as a hero or a traitor.
