With the latest vibes from Eva, his previous novel in the Falcó series, still reverberating in our reading memory, Perez Reverte break out with a novel transition between Falcó's proposals and what comes next.
Be that as it may, this novel is presented as a fable with a strong symbolic charge through a personalization that ends up making us forget that it is a story about dogs. The lives of Teo, Boris el Guapo, Negro and many other dogs rise to that humanized condition that Arturo Pérez-Reverte manages to develop to the utmost credibility.
I don't know if when you finish reading this book you will be able to look at a dog in the same way again. If we already suspected that in those expressive glances some kind of intelligence was hidden above what was suspected, when we finish this plot we will confirm all those suspicions.
As a good lover of animals in general and dogs in particular, the author has taken care to present us with a complete scenario of that animal world recognized by means of the fable. A doggy scene where patterns persist between the moral, the instinctive and the spiritual. Guidelines previously respected by men as a basic set to maintain a minimum of coexistence among equals.
Negro's journey in search of his lost companions is also a walk through all those references that dogs may have learned from men in the process towards domestication, but that now only they preserve far above our teachings that have been overthrown for us. themselves.
If something survives in this world after some kind of hecatomb that will surely await us tomorrow or in millennia, only dogs could strive to recover a world where old values prevail, in the first place for the conservation of any species.
