Papelucho
Papelucho is the main character in a series of children's books created by Chilean writer Marcela Paz. Twelve books were published between 1947 and 1974. The series became a classic among books for children in Chile. The books are written in the form of diaries by the title character, a middle-class, 8-year-old Chilean boy in Santiago. This makes it different from many other children's books, which are set in unreal surroundings. Papelucho is able to find interest and humour in everyday life, and does this by means of an exuberant fantasy, a strong sense of observation and ridicule, and highly developed originality and creativity. In this respect it shows similarity with other widely read works of the European children's literature, which also depict the adventures of children's everyday life, such as Goscinny and Sempé's Le petit Nicolas series, Richmal Crompton's Just William series, and Elena Fortún's Celia books. The first book of the series, Papelucho, was published in 1947, after it won an award in a contest arranged by a young Chilean publishing house, Rapa Nui. The illustrations were by Yolanda Huneeus, a sister of the author. The book very quickly became a bestseller in Chile and one edition followed another. Eleven books followed; the last one appeared in 1974: Am I Dys-Lazy? The sales of the series, in all editions starting from 1947, summed in 2007 up to more than five million copies sold. It is listed as "recommended reading" at Chilean schools and is currently (2011) edited by Random House in Santiago, Chile.
