Free to read and publish on the web

Jacket

This story is built on the traces of reminiscence. It is absolutely not an autobiographical or personal memory, nothing in it is autobiographical, but it contains the memories of a time, a climate, a world of feelings. From this reconstruction of a period now irretrievably lost, and pushed to the margins of history, was born this particular and intimate reconstruction of things, places, environments. Nothing in it is real, but everything tries to be faithful to reality, so that voices and situations that lived in that time and those places, and the places themselves, take shape from my personal progress in reliving and reviewing them with my inner sight, analyzing the sediments of the past and extracting the pattern and sense of them, and are transformed from a totally subjective point of view, coloring and softening the facts and objects of reality.
