"Nadie imaginó que Jacinto pudiera desaparecer. Las historias que contaba a la sombra de un viejo árbol daban sentido a la vida en su barrio; por eso, cuando su voz se apagó, todo se volvió monótono. Sin embargo, el silencio no es eterno, y los cuentos, tarde o temprano, encuentran la forma de volver"-- Back cover. "No one ever believed that Jacinto, the storyteller, would one day disappear. Without his voice and words, everything seemed monotonous. In this very short yet profound story, a young girl assumes his role, proving the importance of the oral tradition throughout the world."--Publisher's website.
