Nine tales to talk about Everybody’s story, and of all the people who surround him
or who cross their path with him,
this peculiar character called Everybody.
Nine tales that one reads as a novel,
as a lifetime novel.
Héctor Navarro was born in Spain, but the stories who build the human mosaic that appears in this book were born in the Northern part of Peru, in Piura. And they are written using the rich, and rhythmic Spanish language spoken overthere. Even if their roots lie in a specific place, these tales talk about everybody’s life.
So that in this book the readers will find “of course, love, so that it deserves to be read”. But they will also find “inevitably death. And between love and death, there will appear paths to walk, and adventure so that you won’t forget them. There is also revenge, music, mystery. Rich and poor people, towns and forests, hate and justice. What we are and what we dream of”.
