El silencio del agua / The Silence of Water (Hardcover)

"No creo que exista en el mundo un silencio más profundo que el silencio del agua. Lo sentí en aquella hora y nunca lo he olvidado".

El silencio del agua es lo único que el protagonista de esta bella historia oye mientras espera junto al río. Espera, espera y espera el regreso del barbo para vengar su caña partida. Pero sabe que no será él quien cace al animal… Otro gran poético relato de José Saramago, acompañado por preciosas ilustraciones de Yolanda Mosquera.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"I don't think there is a silence deeper than the silence of water in the entire world. I felt it in that hour, and I have never forgotten it."

The silence of the water is the only thing the protagonist in this beautiful story hears as he waits by the river. He waits, waits, and waits for the barbel to return so he can avenge his broken rod. But he knows it won't be him who will eventually catch the fish...

Another great poetic tale by José Saramago, accompanied by Yolanda Mosquera’s beautiful illustrations.
