More DescriptionRamón Arcàs, 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 Ramón 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.
Ramón Arcàs, ahora un anciano, regresa a su pueblo natal de Rocalba, una aldea de los Pirineos. Es allí donde como un joven de 17 años en la España de la posguerra trabajó como dibujante para el etnógrafo Josep, cuyos silencios ocultaban una triste historia. Fue en Rocalba también donde Ramón primero experimentó el amor y el romance, y aun mientras revive aquellas emociones embriagadoras se recuerda también 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.
