El arte de la pesca
On many afternoons, after fishing for a while “granddad would take me home”. There, the young narrator of this story will understand, much more so than he would in front of the sea, what it means to be a fish wounded by the “cruelty” of the hook. But he will also remember that all fish “big or small, with or without strong teeth” fight right up until the last moment in order not to be caught. With a firm and transparent style, like a fishing line “The art of fishing” will take us through that decisive fight . The reader of “The art of fishing” will find novel musical illustrations. The musical notes of “Before” – an original composition by Borja de Miguel – complement the text like drops of water. Breathable water for the main character of this story: the child-fish and then, later, the man-fish, who fights in order not to be caught.
