Este libro es una reseña del estilo, obra y vida del famoso escritor José Echegaray por el autor José Roman Leal, escritor y profesor de Madrid, España.

Ahora el autor vuelve a experimentar con prosa narrativa sazonada de versos oportunos en ámbitos urbanos con veintisiete propuestas de distinta extensión y tono enjaezadas con simbolismo erótico, crítica solapada y pasión por escribir obediente a la sorpresa y a la originalidad como bálsamos contra la indiferencia y la desidia. Esta nueva oferta constituye un libro diverso y atractivo donde prima la belleza en el cincelado de las palabras. I.G.T.

The story told by Luis Felipe Fabre masterfully intertwines with the friar's verses, as if they had prophesied the delirium...

A Spanish director, playwright, and actor shares a new philosophy on life that was formed after he suffered from an illness--topics that appear in the majority of his films.
