"A man faces the serious and mysterious consequences of his unusual paternity. A young peasant girl takes an eccentric villager…
as her lover and pays for her audacity. A group of revelers experience horror at the abuses and vicissitudes of a strange visitor. We accompany a sick man on his journey through the landscapes of his feverish delirium, only to get lost along the way and arrive at the end that was not. A man emigrates from his homeland in search of a bait in the form of a woman and ends up facing a fantastic opponent. These are some of Pedro Cabiya's Tremendous Stories, the first book by the then very young writer and a fundamental text that forever changed the rules of the game in Caribbean literature." -- Translation provided by NLSMaktub (Bibliothèque Paulo Coelho)
