Description
Looking at the sea I dreamed
Book summary
Jorge Perales Nieto debuts with a work that blurs the boundaries between poetry and prose to offer the reader an intimate journey through the great human dilemmas. With direct, youthful, and agile language, the author explores universal feelings and contradictions such as love and hate, freedom and subjugation, or life and death. This book invites you to share dreams and concerns from a personal perspective, turning each page into a reflective experience that will not leave those who immerse themselves in it indifferent.
What is it about?
The work is structured as a collection of texts that transition between narrative and verse, where each piece feels like the memory of a dream or a reverie experienced in front of the sea. The author starts from real experiences and specific places to rise toward more abstract reflections on existence. Through a style that hooks from the first lines, the dualities that mark the human condition are addressed, inviting the reader to confront their own contradictions and connect with their deepest emotions, always under the watchful gaze of the sky and the marine horizon.
