This is another of those books that I have come to the hands without really knowing how, one day appeared in one of the shelves house, an old edition, a colorless and unattractive dull yellow color, an author who once did not know at all. And lo, they still do not really know why, I decided to read it. And what a very good choice.
Sometimes when I do not know the author, I prefer not to read the back, or seek information about him or know anything about the book. It is usually an experience that I liked it, so I embarked on reading this book.
book I say they are about 230 small-format pages to be read very fast.

There is a time when we appear in a wedding full of mysterious magic and unreality that remind us that Paradise Lost that we see in other authors. A place that ever existed and we can not return.

Included within the best works of the twentieth century, and, personally, I pointed out in certain atmospheres and situations to Demian, Hesse, written 6 years later.
