Leyendas del Mar Océano: relatos
ISBN: 9781493552252 / Hiszpański / Miękka / 70 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. La literatura latinoamericana ha sido relativamente parca al hablarnos de uno de los grandes temas de todos los tiempos: el mar. Con estos relatos se ha querido enfocar desde la particular perspectiva sudamericana la inquietud que desde siempre el pielago ha inspirado al ser humano, para quien ha sido fuente de innumerables mitos. Algunas de las leyendas que aqui se narran son ampliamente conocidas; otras son oscuras y misteriosas, pero aunque provengan de las gelidas aguas del Artico o de las costas de Escocia, estan matizadas con una tibia gota del Mar Caribe."
