Fiction
An exaltation of humanity set in a Majorca with ancient roots.
In the old familial homestead, by the fireplace, a family gathers to celebrate Christmas Eve. Their conversations and reminiscences lead them to remote places, including past wars and primordial instincts, from the Orient to America, as well as deep inside themselves, to their most private pleasures and fears. With a narrative drive that connects him to Homer and Faulkner, Porcel evokes a world of passions and struggle, a mythicized Majorca that serves to mirror humankind.
