El Viaje a Nicaragua é Historia de mis libros Obras Completas, Vol. XVII

A seasoned traveler, who has spent fifteen years winding through Buenos Ayres, Madrid and Paris, feels a sudden tug of tropical longing and decides to return to his native Nicaragua. The narrative opens with his vivid recollections of childhood streets, a centuries‑old aunt, and the volcanic horizons that once framed his world, setting a tone of quiet nostalgia mixed with restless curiosity. As he boards a French steamer and sails past bustling New York, he observes the feverish pulse of a financial capital, the clash of cultures in colonial ports, and the stark contrasts between modern commerce and the lingering scent of the tropics.

The journey unfolds through lush Panama, the humming Canal, and finally the sun‑baked docks of Colón, where a mosaic of languages, peoples and histories greets him. Along the way he meets notable figures, hears political whispers, and reflects on the impact of foreign influence on his homeland’s landscape. The first act offers a richly textured portrait of a man caught between memory and the present, inviting listeners to share his awe, humor, and the bittersweet taste of rediscovering a place that has both changed and remained unmistakably his.
