«Vida e fugas de Fanto Fantini» is the adventure novel by Álvaro Cunqueiro, published by Edicións Positivas in paperback (159 pages, in Galician).
Set in fifteenth-century Italy, it follows the adventures of Fanto Fantini della Gherardesca, a condottiero and professional fugitive accompanied by his servant Nito, his dog Remo and his horse Lionfante. The work combines the chivalric and the picaresque in a tone of humour, satire, theatricality, tenderness and melancholic lyricism.
The original work, «Vida y fugas de Fanto Fantini della Gherardesca», was published in 1972; the present Galician edition is a translation by Xosé Henrique Costas González.
