Resumen

Pedro Prado nos presenta en su novelaAlsino (1920) la historia de un muchacho eomimn y eorriente al que repentinamente le erecen alas. Ineapaz de comprender a sus semejantes y de entenderse eon el medio que lo rodea, después de pasar por la terrible experieneia de ver eortadas sus alas, realiza un vuelo final haeia la atmosfera que lo ileva a la desintegraeión, desvaneeiéndose en minfiseulas partleulas de eeniza que se preeipitan sobre la tierra. Con esta figura Prado pretende transfigurar la raza deeadente del hombre finiseeular para liberarla de sus lastres positivistas y dejarla que remonte el vuelo haeia las alturas liberadoras de lo traseendente, donde el protagonista se inmola por la humanidad sufriente en su angustia existencial. Alto es una metafora del hombre del siglo XX, imagen del hombre siempre iiniitado y en permanente bflsqueda y simbolo de sus ansias insaeiables de infinito.
