Summary

El comediante Fonseca es la emocionante historia de los cómicos errantes que viajaban por todo el continente americano, desde la frontera de Texas hasta el Estrecho de Magallanes a principios del Siglo XX, en la época en la que el cinematógrafo y los ferrocarriles lo cambiaron todo. Es también la historia de los españoles que aún recorrían el continente americano siguiendo los viejos caminos, cuando las repúblicas eran aun jóvenes, como embajadores de una cultura compartida. Y es, sobre todo, la vida ficticia de un comediante que podría ser tantos comediantes reales, narrada con la maestría de Vicente Blasco Ibáñez. Una historia entrañable y divertida. Una mirada a un mundo que ya no existe poblada por personajes interesantes que nos resultan cercanos pese a todo.

El comediante Fonseca is the exciting story of the wandering comedians who travelled across the American continent, from the Texas border to the Strait of Magellan at the beginning of the 20th century, at a time when the cinematograph and the railways changed everything. It is also the story of the Spaniards who still travelled the American continent following the old paths, when the republics were still young, as ambassadors of a shared culture. And it is, above all, the fictional life of a comedian who could be so many real comedians, narrated with the mastery of Vicente Blasco Ibáñez. An endearing and amusing story. A look at a world that no longer exists, populated by interesting characters who are close to us.
