Abstract

The Orinoco country: a territory as imaginary as it is real. This region of contrasts and exotic landscapes is the scenario where stories of an enigmatic land that preserves narratives and traditions rooted in the memory of those who sail its waters are recreated. Relatos del país del Orinoco gathers the memories of a man who grew up in the immensity of the jungle that overflows the banks of the Orinoco; it portrays iconic characters and emotional experiences that will mark in the reader's imagination new nuances of an unknown "country" that transcends borders beyond any map.
