Ven, te cuento

En muchos siglos de aprender a vivir en el Chaco, los wichis crearon una cultura propia, una manera de entender el mundo. Y esta manera de entender el mundo aparece en gran cantidad de historias. Hay historias de soles que tratan con la gente, de animales que hablan, de robos del fuego, de burladores burlados, de heroes. Ahora, esas historias se abren paso en un libro, lejos de los fogones chaquenos, mas alla de las palabras de los viejos, hacia otras partes del mundo.

When asked to deliver contraband papers to her native island home of Cuba in 1852, twenty-year-old Emilia Casanova gulped audibly in a most unladylike manner. This was her chance to be in the thick of the rebellion against Spanish authority, something she had always dreamed of, instead of on the sidelines more befitting someone of her station. Even though she would be branded a traitor and endanger her family if she was caught, she pushed her fear aside and accepted the mission. Back in Cuba following her first summer abroad, distributing seditious propaganda isn't as easy as it had seemed...
