This book is a collection of fiction inspired by the Christian, Sufi, Hindu,
Buddhist and Native American cultural traditions. The diversity of sources
contained in the book shows an intense multicultural experience that takes
the form of a book written in two languages: Spanish and English. The book
is made of short stories which makes it ideal for educational environments.
Language classes as well as other subjects with a strong cultural
orientation or in Modern Literature will certainly benefit from it.
About The Author
Refugio Sereno is the pen name of a professional social scientist who has a
great deal of experience in multicultural projects and programs. Born in
Mexico City, he has dedicated part of his life to working in the education
field, and saves enough money to finance cultural exchange projects similar
to non-profit organizations and voluntary work. He has not yet found a
permanent solution to this double life. He says he does not feel discouraged
by his circumstances and is still in search of the ultimate transcultural
experience.
Reviews
Highly Recommended
In these fictions Refugio was able to manage the two fundamental aspects of
form and language. The former refers to the manner in which the structure of
each story was conceived, and ranges from the circular through the
interspersion of actions. The latter includes the precise manner in which
vocabulary is used, and an economy of language that does not resort to
adornment, but rather retains only the terms necessary for the presentation
of each story. There is a cleanliness of style which is remarkable; and each
topic is most suitable and unique. The book teaches intelligently, and is
comprehensive, with no loose ends.
