Literary synopsis

Only two things are essential: a house and a drum. And if a third thing mattered: a book, this one, for example, written on the river bank, in a state of shipwreck and isolation, written in a new, foreign and at the same time indigenous language.
Adventure novel, intimate diary, survival manual or self-help guide for those who are trapped adrift, those who have to believe again, who think that one day they will have to return and who for now is taking a breath or a vacation or you have simply escaped so much from reality that you are already far, far away from everything.
This is an island-book whose pages promise a sunny season on the beach, a siesta in the shade of a tree near the lagoon, farewell songs in the starry night, hopes for a quiet life.
