About this book

Español

Ni era vaca ni era caballo

En este relato autobiográfico ambientado en La Guajira venezolana, un joven pastor busca a una oveja perdida y se topa con algo que no puede explicar: no es vaca ni caballo, pero corre por la tierra sin que nadie lo empuje. Aterrado, corre a casa para contarlo, y su familia le revela que la extraña criatura es en realidad un invento de los alijuna, los forasteros. Escrito por el autor wayuu Miguel Ángel Jusayú, este relato mezcla la memoria personal con la rica tradición oral de La Guajira, capturando el asombro y la confusión del primer contacto con el mundo moderno.

English

It Was Neither Cow Nor Horse

In this autobiographical tale set in Venezuela's Guajira region, a young shepherd searches for a lost sheep and stumbles upon something he cannot explain—neither a cow nor a horse, yet it races across the land without being pushed. Terrified, he runs home to tell his family, who reveal that the strange creature is actually an invention of the alijuna, the outsiders. Written by Wayuu author Miguel Ángel Jusayú, this story blends personal memory with the rich oral tradition of the Guajira, capturing the wonder and confusion of a first encounter with the modern world.
