Pablo Antonio Cuadra Bücher

Includes an introduction with an ecocritical focus, as well as complete notes on botanical, historical, mythological, and socio-political references.

Drawing inspiration from Homer's Odyssey, this work presents Cifar, a sailor and passionate lover whose adventures unfold on the mythical Lake Cocibolca. Unlike the grandiosity of classical epics, Cifar's journey is marked by humility and marginality, reflecting the struggles of a frustrated hero. The lake serves as a rich tapestry of Nicaraguan legends and history, symbolizing the dreams and disappointments of its people. Cuadra's narrative captures the essence of a bohemian spirit navigating both the sea and the complexities of life.
