| Publisher Description: A skilled healer, both a widow and a mother, decides to free several families of their young or newborn daughters because, according to her, they will only be a burden on their families in the midst of the misery that surrounds them in the Greek Isles. A hell full of nightmares and hallucinations will haunt a desperate conscience in the midst of a beautiful landscape, a conscience that can barely overcome the greatest obstacles that a life of extreme reality throws its way. This story is a treatise on the human soul, on its ability to overcome the weight of a miserable and oppressed reality, transfixed by the agony of living and by the impossibility of any justice at all, neither divine nor human."Una habil curandera, viuda y madre, decide librar a varias familias de sus hijas pequenas o recien nacidas, pues estas, segun ella misma, seran solo una carga en medio de la miseria que los rodea en las islas griegas. Un infierno de pesadillas insomnes, sonambulas y alucinadas atenazara a una conciencia desesperada en medio del hermosisimo paisaje, una conciencia que apenas puede sobreponerse a las pulsiones mas graves que una realidad extrema arroja sobre la existencia. Esta historia es un tratado sobre el ser humano, sobre su capacidad para superar el peso de una realidad miserable y oprimida, transido por la angustia de existir y por la imposibilidad de ninguna justicia, divina o humana."" |
