Scenes of Panama: Storytelling from Bugaba and Tonosi - Paperback

by Ariel Barría Alvarado (Preface by), Yorindelis Mojica (Translator), Luis Flórez Karica (Author)

Luis Florez Karica is one of those authors interested in rescuing pictures of a Panama that is gone. With this book, Scenes from Panama (Relatos de Bugaba y de Tonosí), he has achieved an enjoyable compilation that transcends the mere fact of telling stories and achieves the purposes to which literature always points.

Conceived as a tribute to the two small homelands of the author, Bugaba and Tonosí, in its pages there are aspects that contribute to illustrating and explaining the mood of the Panamanian and the factors that have influenced the materialization of an identity, showing certain rattles of that labor that in the last century gave way to our present.

Books like this one promise us the presence of a vigorous generation of writers who are taking their place in time, ready to fulfill the great task that literature has assumed for all time: to confess ourselves human, fully human, even if a flame shines in us. in permanent rebellion against the annoying certainty of finitude.
