Breve saggio in difesa di asini, somari e ciuchi di Juan Cascajero
All’ombra dell’asino è un libretto dedicato a passare in disamina i proverbi e i modi di dire in uso dall’antichità che prendono la figura dell’asino quale riferimento negativo. Un lavoro mosso dalla simpatia e dal sentimento etico di uno storico madrilèno -quale è stato Juan Cascajero– sensibile alle condizioni di umili e sfruttati della società.
“L’allusione all’asino come portatore di determinate caratteristiche -così
come l’imputare tale condizione a coloro ai quali si vogliano attribuirne i
tratti- continua ad essere abituale, perfino fra coloro che non hanno mai
avuto l’occasione di contemplarlo.
