Una noticia que llega de lejos –"Operaron a Irene"– destapa una genealogía tan antigua como el Pueblo del Libro. ¿Qué recibimos de nuestros ancestros? Herencia es recuerdo y poesía, deseo y lenguaje. Historias silenciadas, fotos perdidas, rostros añorados, forman un paisaje que se vuelve dolorosamente entrañable.

There is rare fun and freshness in Mr. W. D. Howells's. 'Christmas Every Day, and Other Stories', a little volume charming for New Year or Thanksgiving.
