Abstract

The French philosopher Jean-Marie Schaeffer has persuaded us that there is nothing in fiction that has not come out of reality; for this reason, the fictional capacity is a cornerstone for the construction of social reality, since the aesthetic nature of works of art is not something intrinsic to the works, but a human dimension, a capacity that manifests itself in everyday life, implying that from its local voice any narrator can affect reality.

Raíces y Sueños is a unique work that, consequently, is close to what Schaeffer postulated; conceived from the eyes of a son of Orocué, in which beautifully flourish, like aquatic flowers, telluric dictates of the blood, expressions of genes acrisolados by men on horseback. A novel about and from the Llano, saturated with equinoctial shines in which mythical rivers and almost Macondian characters, transhumants of the savannah of Casanare, intertwine. A historical chronicle overflowing with imagination that raises another superb trip to our Creole roots: we drink from the pristine jar of the 'llaneridad' forged by immemorial crossings of languages and cultures, raving or reverie that flow from the pen of Jairo Ruíz Churión that traps us as readers and invites us to embark on a sort of Jacob's ladder in contravía: a symbolic landscape of adrenergic descent from the clouds of the cultural alienation in which we live to return to the Llano, the true paradise to be maintained, the true paradise of the world.
