«ï¿½l era el puente entre el pueblo y la monta�a, pertenec�a a los dos mundos.� Tik�, el hijo del caporal de la plantaci�n cafetera La Portuguesa, siente desde ni�o en su interior una fuerza desconocida y brutal que marca toda su vida. Es la voz de adentro, que a ratos asume como propia y cuyos mandatos de muerte y destrucci�n resultan imposibles de ignorar. La selva, que parece querer engullir todo lo que la rodea, marca un destino descivilizador para Tik� tras abandonar primero La Portuguesa y luego su trabajo como maestro, lejos de los suyos y solo acompa�ado por un coyote y por los santos que protegen los cuatro rumbos de la monta�a, se acerca cada vez m�s a la tribu ancestral y misteriosa que puebla las zonas m�s secretas de ese territorio agreste y hostil: los hijos del volc�n. Con una prosa precisa, deslumbrante y sensorial, Jordi Soler vuelve en esta novela a ese espacio tan personal de la selva veracruzana, y relata un mundo de aliento m�tico, violento y lleno de supersticiones en el que no parecen regir otras normas que las que impone la naturaleza. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "He was the bridge between the village and the mountain, he belonged to both worlds. "
Tik�, the son of the caporal of the La Portuguesa coffee plantation, feels an unknown and brutal force inside him since he was a child that has marked his entire life. It is the voice from within, which at times he assumes as his own and whose commands of death and destruction are impossible to ignore. The jungle, which seems to want to engulf everything that surrounds it, marks a decivilizing destiny for Tik� after first leaving La Portuguesa and then his work as a teacher, far from his family and only accompanied by a coyote and the saints who protect the four Heading up the mountains, he gets closer and closer to the ancestral and mysterious tribe that populates the most secret areas of this rugged and hostile territory: the sons of the volcano. With precise, dazzling, and sensorial prose, Jordi Soler returns in this novel to that very personal space of the Veracruz jungle, and recounts a world that is mythical, violent and full of superstitions, in which no other rules seem to govern than those imposed by nature."
