📖 Description
Ramón Arcà s, 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.
