La ronda y otras notas rojas

Descripción

This story includes eleven short stories from one of the most heartbreaking French storytellers today. In one story, two girls risk everything by running away from home and their dead-end factory jobs in search of a more meaningful life. In others a man stands by helplessly as a place of great beauty and deep childhood memory is slowly consumed and destroyed by a quickly developing city, an illegal immigrant desperate for work finds himself the prisoner of a ring trafficking in human beings, and an adolescent girl encounters the violence of a gang of masked bikers in a hostile and desolate housing project. At once tragic and evocative, these engrossing and beautifully crafted stories touch upon the loss of human values in a rapidly changing world.
