About the Book

Dos cuentos y cinco poemas. Una triste leyenda, una isla contaminada y un amor "Más allá del Charco". Oigo sus gritos en la noche. En verano todos tenemos las ventanas abiertas. Oigo sus gritos y no puedo dormir más. El corazón se me llena de tristeza. Mi hermano se mueve en la cama a mi lado. Parece que duerma, pero sé que está escuchando todo. Miguel dijo que no regresará "Estoy harto de esta maldita isla contaminada. No quiero acabar como Giulio Podda." Giulio es nuestro vecino. Es él que grita todas las noches. De niña oía sus perros de caza que ladraban juntos al gallo en la madrugada. Ahora Giulio no tiene más perros. Él se ha vuelto el perro que ladra en la noche y en el día. La dama de Quirra era una condesa de origen español y vivía en un castillo encima de un cerro. Se mató dejándose caer en el valle. Bueno, esto es lo que dice la leyenda y lo que la gente sigue contando. Y a la familia del pobre Giulio le tocó la triste imagen de Violante Carroz que vuela hacia la muerte. Bromas del destino. El hermano de Giulio se había suicidado y ahora el mismo vivía en el olvido. Giulio no reconocía más a nadie, ni sabía más quien era. Pero no era sólo un problema de memoria... Había perdido la razón, regresando a la condición de un niño berrinchudo y discapacitado, que no podía hacer nada solo.
