Toda pasi n profunda requiere sin remedio cierto grado de crueldad. Algo misterioso y fant stico habita estos cuentos. Fantasmas, hoteles pose dos, dimensiones paralelas, una versi n alterna de la historia, donde los h roes palidecen, y un espejo donde enfrentar s tus miedos y deseos ocultos. Cada cuento es eslab n de una cadena que resuena en mitad de la noche como el cascabel de una v bora. Con su proverbial maestr a de tejedor de historias, Solares ha reunido aqu 47 textos, algunos tan breves como un aforismo, donde hay reflexiones sobre la vida y el deseo, el amor y la muerte. Prolongaci n de la noche re ne filias del autor: su vena de historiador, la "dislocaci n de la realidad", la m stica espiritual, la cr nica period stica. Son cuentos donde el miedo rompe la armon a; los personajes se sienten observados y la angustia de vivir se refleja en sus actos; sin embargo, siguen adelante, porque en el fondo se saben criaturas de Dios y porque tal vez la realidad es tan s lo una prolongaci n de nuestros sue os. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "All deep passion requires a certain degree of cruelty." Something mysterious and fantastic lies in these stories. Ghosts, haunted hotels, parallel dimensions, an alternate version of the story where heroes pale, and a mirror where you face your hidden fears and desires. Each story is a link in a chain that echoes in the night like a viper's rattle. With his renowned mastery at spinning tales, Solares has gathered here 47 texts, some as short as a maxim, in which we find reflections about life and desire, love and death. A Prolongued Evening compiles the author's penchants: his streak as a historian, a certain "dislocation of reality," spiritual mysticism, the reporting of a journalist. They are stories where fear breaks the harmony: the characters feel watched and the angst of living is reflected in their actions; nevertheless, they continue because deep down they consider themselves creatures of God and because perhaps reality is just a continuation of our dreams.
