Randomly searching for books about #allsaintsday and ran across this. And now I'm intrigued.

This doesn‘t have great Litsy reviews but the description sounds compelling

Short story collections are always a mixed bag, but this one had more misses than hits for me!

I don‘t know what to say, difficult to make sense of the story to me, maybe translation in Italian did not help to make sense of the humor, but for sure the only reason I was able to finish it is because is short….#2022

I really enjoyed reading the legends of Latin America. As I‘m slowly learning Spanish, these legends were accessible but not corny, and the English translation was on the left page, Spanish on the right. Not too difficult of vocabulary, and a good variety of verb tenses. 16 short stories were a great length to develop the plot but not overwhelming. Recommend for those who are learning and don‘t want to read about people shopping or traveling.

Perù:metà del secolo scorso.Le multinazionali americane di mangiano la terra e sconvolgono la vita della comunità di agricoltori che da secoli dei pascoli per le loro pecore hanno fatto l‘unica possibilità di sostentamento.Un libro dimenticato che affronta il fenomeno dello sfruttamento dell‘America Latina con un linguaggio in cui sogno,immaginazione,rabbia,e rassegnazione si mescolano in un mix magico di poesia e letteratura. Un libro da leggere.

Very nice. A book that makes us reflect on how subtle is the distance between comic and tragicomic.
