    The original Spanish is:

    El genio es la capacidad de lograr sobre nuestra imaginación aterida el impacto que cualquier libro logra sobre la imaginación del niño.

    Cf. Notas, p. 358:

    "A great book is one which, at any age, cause an impression similar to the one which any book caused during our childhood."
