About This Book

El texto traza el recorrido de un arroyo desde la gota que brota en la fuente hasta su unión con ríos y océanos, enmarcando ese viaje en el ciclo atmosférico y geológico que transforma el agua. Exalta la transparencia y el encanto de las fuentes, vincula su imagen a símbolos de pureza en la poesía y las artes y reconoce la contaminación que las afecta aguas abajo. Reúne mitos de ninfas como figuras que inspiran sabiduría y sugiere que la soledad en la naturaleza ofrece alimento a la reflexión y a la formación de costumbres y leyes.
