| Publisher Description: Ramon Arcas, now an old man, returns to his hometown of Rocalba, a tiny village in the Pyrenees. It was there that as a 17-year-old boy in postwar Spain he apprenticed as a drawer for the ethnographer Josep, whose silence hid a tragic story. Rocalba was also where Ramon first experienced love and romance, and even as he relives those heady feelings now he also recalls far less pleasant memories about mankind's capacity for cruelty and the fear of power. Drama, romance, and history combine in this book to create a moving tale. "Ramon Arcas, ahora un anciano, regresa a su pueblo natal de Rocalba, una aldea de los Pirineos. Es alli donde como un joven de 17 anos en la Espana de la posguerra trabajo como dibujante para el etnografo Josep, cuyos silencios ocultaban una triste historia. Fue en Rocalba tambien donde Ramon primero experimento el amor y el romance, y aun mientras revive aquellas emociones embriagadoras se recuerda tambien de memorias menos placenteras de la crueldad humana y del temor al poder. El drama, el romance y la historia se combinan en este libro para crear una conmovedora historia." |
