«El Loco, der Spinner» is the novel by Alberto Manzi, published by Rowohlt Tb. in paperback (202 pages, in German).
A stranger with a red ribbon, called El Loco, arrives at a mountain village in Latin America; no one knows his origin. Together with the young indigenous woman Furiosa, his seemingly simple words awaken the community: they oppose selling their land to a mining company, build a school, and recover their joy.
The novel was originally published in 1979 under the title El loco; this German edition, translated by Susanne Scholl, dates from 1996.
For readers of social fiction about the resistance of indigenous communities in Latin America.
Alberto Manzi was an Italian mayor, school teacher, writer and television host, best known for his popular television show Non è mai troppo tardi, an educational TV program broadcast in Italy between 1959 and 1968.
