When European historian Julian Ferrer Valls travels to a remote island to verify an impeccable civil record, he expects to correct an administrative error. The document is clear, official, undeniable: Esteban Roca Salvatierra died minutes after birth in 1954.
Yet everything that followed proves otherwise.
A lifetime of scientific achievements, a marriage, children, publications, and decades of documented existence contradict a certificate that shows no flaw. As Julián begins his investigation, guided by the enigmatic LucÃa MarÃn Herrera, he enters a world where archives fail, memory resists verification, and time itself appears to obey a different order.
What begins as a scholarly inquiry slowly becomes a confrontation between reason and experience, evidence and belief, history and something older than history.
Set between the precision of European archives and the living memory of an island shaped by unseen traditions, Hippocampus is a philosophical literary novel about identity, memory, and the fragile boundary between what is recorded and what is real.
Some lives are measured in years.
Others are measured in crossings.
