The Dream of the Jaguar

Once, a beggar from Venezuela finds a baby on the steps of a church. Thus begins the story that will be recorded many years later by Cristobal—a writer chronicling his family's lineage.
A slow, contemplative journey through the waves of memory, full of symbols and associations. Cristobal's world balances on the edge of nature and civilization, Latin America and Europe.
A vibrant story, full of poetry, exoticism, and love.
Miguel Bonfoa, half French and half Venezuelan, has absorbed the heritage of his roots from both sides. In the novel «The Dream of the Jaguar», he combines magical realism with the traditional French family novel, and I can assure the reader, the cocktail turned out superb.
