About this book

Español

Cuentan que hace mucho, mucho tiempo

Hace mucho, mucho tiempo, los pueblos de la antigua América Latina no solo sembraban, nadaban, cantaban y bailaban: también inventaron el arte de contar historias. El escritor Guillermo Barrantes y el ilustrador Patricio Oliver recorrieron ese río de voces, misterios y tradiciones que atraviesa el continente, recopilando mitos y leyendas maravillosas sobre la creación y el fin del mundo, un monstruo que habita en el bosque, los poderes del alma humana y el origen del fuego, las estrellas y las ballenas. Alrededor de su propio fogón, todos los lectores están invitados a vivir una noche medida no en horas sino en historias asombrosas, cada una más sorprendente que la anterior, celebrando la magia de Latinoamérica.

English

They Say That Long, Long Ago ...

Long, long ago, the peoples of ancient Latin America not only farmed, swam, sang, and danced—they also invented storytelling. Author Guillermo Barrantes and illustrator Patricio Oliver journeyed through this river of voices, mysteries, and traditions that stretch across the continent, gathering marvelous myths and legends about the creation and end of the world, a monster lurking in the forest, the power of the human soul, and the origins of fire, stars, and whales. Around their own campfire, all readers are invited to spend a night measured not in hours but in astonishing stories, each more wondrous than the last, celebrating the magic of Latin America.
