Description
In this searing and lyrical novel, a young boy navigates the harsh realities of rural Cuba, where poverty and anarchy reign.

This first installment of Reinaldo Arenas's acclaimed Pentagonia series offers a raw and unflinching portrait of childhood resilience against a backdrop of profound social upheaval. It is a testament to the enduring human spirit and the transformative magic of imagination.
