La novela parte de un hecho real: la visita de los navegantes de la nao Victoria a la isla de Timor en 1522 durante la primera vuelta al mundo. A partir de este episodio histórico, la narración construye un tejido donde conviven la poética, la magia y la locura, atravesando la historia reciente de Timor Oriental desde la guerra civil de 1974 hasta la independencia en 2002. La narradora --la sandalia izquierda de Carolina-- cuenta y reinventa las historias de quienes participaron en la construcción del paÃs. Un relato original, humano y profundamente libre.
The novel begins with a real event: the visit of the sailors of the ship Victoria to the island of Timor in 1522 during the first circumnavigation of the globe. From this historical episode, the narrative weaves together poetry, magic, and madness, crossing the recent history of East Timor from the 1974 civil war to independence in 2002. The narrator--the left sandal of Carolina--tells and reinvents the stories of those who took part in the building of the nation. An original, deeply human, and profoundly free narrative.
