A LIST OF NEW BOOKS,
A wandering storyteller brings listeners into the bustling heart of mid‑nineteenth‑century Mexico City, where towering volcanoes crown a valley teeming with life. The opening sketches the city’s cobbled streets, glittering plazas, and the cathedral’s sunrise silhouette, while introducing a colorful cast: Perico, a restless Mexican vagabond; Fray Serapio, a compassionate Franciscan monk; and Don Tadeo Cristóbal, an enigmatic lawyer for thieves. Their paths intersect amid crowded markets, noisy horsemen, and the ever‑present rhythm of the Angelus, offering a vivid portrait of daily hopes, hardships, and humor.
Through richly detailed scenes—snow‑capped peaks, reflective lakes, ancient cedars, and bustling bazaars—the narrative invites listeners to wander alongside these characters as they navigate love, law, and survival. Each episode promises a fresh glimpse into the city’s vibrant tapestry, where the ordinary and the extraordinary coexist on the same sun‑warmed stone.

Adventure and danger filled his stories because he had seen plenty of both himself. After spending about a decade in Mexico, he turned those experiences into vivid French adventure novels that helped shape an early taste for the Western.
