The Roader

In a small village, located at the base of a plateau, a mysterious event occurs on the night of Good Friday. A supernatural voice is heard threatening to bring down a huge rock on the edge of the plateau and wipe out the village. To prevent this from happening, the voice demands that the inhabitants choose a person who is willing to talk to it. The inhabitants, believing that the person making this demand is the devil, choose a young teenager who is known for his extravagant behavior of wandering around the region and for this reason has been nicknamed the Andante.
When the young man climbs up to the plateau, he comes across a little man on top of the huge rock who tells him that his mission as guardian of the village is to investigate the reason for existence and that every Friday night he must go up to the plateau to talk to the little man and tell him about his progress in the investigation.
El Andante finds himself faced with a very unique task for which he does not believe he is prepared, but as is his way of seeing life, he takes up the challenge and so begins to investigate through books sent to him from the capital by a student.
Initially, the Andante feels lost because he does not understand the purpose of his choice or the mission he has been entrusted with, but little by little he begins to feel an enormous curiosity, awakened by the books he reads, about the meaning of life, the reason for existence and the implications of his own life in relation to the universe and creation.
For years, the Andante has been going up to the plateau every Friday to tell the little man about his readings and the reflections he draws from them, and this learning experience and the questions he asks himself lead the reader to reflect on his or her own life as well.
Throughout the book, the author explains surprising realities such as reincarnation, the law of cause and effect, causality and all those questions that a human being faces in life. leer todo...
