Yago has left the city to live in the forest, where he channels his passion through letters and by carving a tree trunk. Meanwhile, in the urban environment, Eva and Santi struggle with a relationship adrift, marked by fetishism and wounded self-esteem. Their paths, seemingly separate, run in parallel in a story that moves from the animal to the human, from sex to death, and from passion to reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe novel follows two narrative threads that run in parallel. On one hand, Yago, a man who has chosen isolation in the forest, where he writes love letters and carves a trunk brought down by a storm, in an attempt to find meaning in his existence. On the other hand, in the city, Eva and Santi form a couple in crisis, trapped in a power game where his fetishism clashes with her wounded self-esteem. Although Yago and Eva do not know it, their destinies are intertwined. Throughout the work, accompanied by hunters, idiots, and dogs, the protagonists travel a path that leads them to face the light that emerges from sex and death, in a transit that goes from the forest to the city and from the instinctive to the rational.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDesire and fetishism as driving forces of human relationships.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLoneliness and voluntary isolation as a path to self-knowledge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCouple crisis and the conflict between passion and reason.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe transition between the animal and the human, and the search for balance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDeath and sex as revealing and transformative experiences.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is aimed at readers interested in contemporary narrative that explores the complexities of human relationships from a raw and poetic perspective.
