Mafalda was first published on September 29, 1964: a character of a cute, bold, rebellious and occasionally philosophical girl living in Argentina in the 1960s and early 1970s – before man reached the moon, when there were no cell phones or personal computers; Diego Maradona was still a little boy, Che Guevara had three years left to live and Messi wasn't even in the plans. As the daughter of a typical middle-class family, Mafalda goes to school, hangs out with her gang of friends, and when her parents' bills are settled, they go to the beach in the summer. But Mafalda is not a girl like all girls: she is a feminist, a Beatles fan, a bitter enemy of soups, and lives in constant conflict with adults. Modest, curious and committed to society, she worries about the world and doesn't understand how adults can manage it so badly. She is a ruthless social warrior who shoots political manifestos from her small chair, and her innocent questions and high ideals cross national borders on their way to conquer South America, subdue Europe and Asia, and earn an iconic place in the collective imagination. Two generations in Latin America and around the world were educated with Mafalda, and she managed to convey powerful lessons about equality, politics, social criticism, and everyday life, with great humor and irony.

Umberto Eco This edition of "Mapalda" is printed 978 years after the invention of printing in China and two weeks before the elections for the twenty-first Knesset in Israel, which will see Mapalda as a hero or a traitor.
