The Texan Star

More about the book

Set in the ancient City of Mexico, the narrative unfolds in a stone house where a boy and a man observe their surroundings, including the city's low buildings and majestic mountains. Despite the vibrant scenery and familiar sounds of daily life, such as a water-seller's cry and the jingle of spurs, the characters seem indifferent, highlighting a sense of routine and the passage of time. This backdrop serves to explore themes of familiarity, perception, and the contrast between the extraordinary and the mundane.
