Description

De varios colores gathers a handful of brief stories that bloom like a mismatched bouquet. From the whimsical flight of a white stork in “Garuda” to the captive heart of Doña Mencía, from a scholarly master named Raimundico to two delicate Japanese legends, the collection sweeps across taste and geography.

The author writes from a seasoned, slightly weary perspective, confessing that his only aim is to amuse himself and the reader. He deliberately shuns moralizing, preaching, or heavy sentiment, preferring a light‑hearted tone that treats each tale as a simple pastime rather than a profound statement.

Listeners will find a gentle, occasionally ironic voice that invites a brief escape from everyday concerns. The stories are crafted to entertain, offering charming characters and modest twists without demanding emotional intensity. It is a modest, pleasant diversion for anyone seeking a short literary stroll.
