Relatos de Guatemala y otros cuentos fantásticos

by Christian Hagenlocher

Overview

Una mujer que roba las almas de los hombres. Una pareja cuyo amor pende de un hilo al descarrilarse un tren. Un hombre que es convertido en mono. Un fotógrafo que recibe un macabro encargo de la Muerte y el viaje de un ladrón de tumbas mayas al pasado... Estos son algunos de los relatos que confluyen y se entremezclan en el costumbrismo guatemalteco presentado por el autor en esta colección de cuentos cortos. Basados en leyendas, historias reales contadas por sus protagonistas y personajes del pasado, Relatos de Guatemala y otros cuentos fantásticos muestra la otra cara de la realidad chapina, con raíces en su sincretismo religioso maya y cristiano, la sencillez y alegría de su pueblo, las glorias y pesares de su historia. Y lo que tienen en común todas las historias: ser parte de una herencia cultural maravillosa que perdurará por milenios.
