Con DOS Huevos

Astisendo Grupo Editorial Con Dos Huevos Spanish Comic. To raise a chicken, to shit in the milk, to pluck the turkey, to make your dick a mess… Spanish overflows with these popular expressions whose meaning has little or nothing to do with the words that form them, and that are stamped in your head like colorful postcards, vivid and raw. Guerrier and Sánchez wield scalpels and pencils to dismantle, dissect, and recreate the most surprising expressions in the language of Cervantes and show their most disconcerting side.First, graphically: each expression is literally illustrated.In this way, these colloquial expressions, formed by simple terms, often linked to the register of food or sexuality, acquire an unexpected visual power.Decontextualized and taken literally, they become surreal, absurd, almost disturbing.They also delve into the origin of language.Each expression is consciously dissected, in an attempt to decipher its etymology, its how and its why: what was the initial use of such an expression, in what context it was used, or how it has evolved over time.A way to discover a language and its roots through its most colloquial expressions. The texts of Con dos huevos are translated into English and French.The definition of each expression is translated into both languages, since the foreign reader -expatriate, tourist, or student of the Cervantes language- often comes across these idioms, these idioms or idiomatic turns that can leave them perplexed.And with the purpose of highlighting that feeling of strangeness in the discovery of a language, echoing the illustrations in a game of mirrors, each expression is also translated literally: with two eggs, to shit in the milk, to build a chicken. In short, an illustrated glossary aimed both at native speakers who are curious about the most surreal expressions of their own language, and at foreigners struggling with such prolific slang. tradeinn Techinn
