About This Book

Conjunto de relatos ambientados en la comarca valenciana que retratan con realismo popular las costumbres, fiestas y labores rurales. Los textos presentan personajes y escenas cotidianas —desde músicos ambulantes y tabernas hasta trabajos del campo— mostrando humor, ironía y compasión hacia la pobreza y la exuberancia vital. A través de anécdotas y descripciones sensoriales se exploran tensiones sociales, vínculos comunitarios y los ritos festivos que ordenan la vida local. El tono combina la narrativa costumbrista con pasajes líricos y críticos, ofreciendo una serie de viñetas que capturan la energía y las contradicciones de la vida valenciana.
