Through an oneiric and symbolic journey, the reader accompanies the protagonist on a voyage that follows the path of the Sun, where the contemplation of the divine transforms seconds into centuries. This collection of poems offers a lyrical experience that explores the boundaries between the human and the sacred, inviting deep reflection on the spiritual quest and the transience of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is inspired by the legend of Abbot Amaro, a monk who, guided by divine instructions received in dreams, embarks on a journey in search of the Earthly Paradise. The poetic narrative follows his journey, marked by trials and revelations, until he reaches a paradisiacal city where the vision of its most intimate secrets causes a temporal distortion: seconds of contemplation become moments spanning centuries. Jesús Baena Criado transforms this medieval story into a lyrical text that investigates the relationship between faith, the desire for transcendence, and the mystical experience, using evocative and symbolic language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe search for the Earthly Paradise as a metaphor for human spiritual aspiration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe initiatory journey and the overcoming of obstacles as a path toward enlightenment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between human time and divine eternity, explored through temporal distortion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFaith and obedience to the divine will as engines of the mystical experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe contemplation of the sacred and its transformative power over the perception of reality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in contemporary poetry with roots in literary and religious tradition.
