About This Book

Una narrativa rural relata a un hombre que, tras un encuentro con presencias en la montaña, cae en un sueño que dura décadas y despierta en un pueblo transformado, ofreciendo meditaciones sobre el paso del tiempo, la memoria y la transformación comunitaria; otra leyenda presenta sucesos extraños en un valle aislado, con tono de fábula y misterio. El volumen reúne estos relatos con un esbozo biográfico y piezas breves que combinan folklore, descripción paisajística y un humor suave.
