The Old Man and The Seeds

Sinopsis del Libro

Libro The Old Man and The Seeds

A young Australian travelling for academic purposes in Europe visits a monastery in Spain and is waylaid by an old man selling his produce by the roadside at a nearby war cemetery. He innocently asks about the massive eucalypt trees in the monastery grounds and is then entranced by the old man and the story he tells of their history which weaves together the secret 16th-century exploration of Terra Australis, the Emperor Charles V, the dedication of a botanist, fundamentals of gardening and the wonder of Nature. "I found myself translating a story written by someone I hardly knew, about some apparently incomprehensible fantastical old man in the middle of nowhere telling his story involving ancient Spanish historical figures, to an unnamed and bewildered young foreigner with little command of the language." - Irene Esteve Gúrpide - translator

Los personajes de Continentes se mueven en un mundo real muy distinto al que habían imaginado. Demasiadas promesas incumplidas. Demasiado lastre. Una parte de ellos nunca se va, una parte ellos jamás estuvo. Inxilio y Exilio son dos términos que reflejan lo mismo: la búsqueda...

Que Viva la Musica! = Let the Music Play!

Libro Que Viva la Musica! = Let the Music Play!

This is a novel of initiation. An invitation to a never-ending party where the host invites the world to go down the black hole of their chosen excess—in happiness. Caicedo’s oeuvre is considered among the most original works in Colombian literature. He was 25 when he committed suicide, the same day he received the first printed copy of ¡Que viva la música!, for which he is remembered to this day.
