«As rosas de Atacama» is a collection of short stories by Chilean writer Luis Sepúlveda, published by Edições ASA in paperback (144 pages, in Portuguese).
Stories inspired by real people Luis Sepúlveda met. They arise from an anonymous inscription at the Bergen-Belsen camp demanding that forgotten stories be told. Marginal stories of exceptional beings, with human dignity, justice and ecology as their axes: dreams are universal and reality surpasses fiction.
The original title of the work in Spanish is «Historias marginales»; this Portuguese edition includes a translation by Pedro Tamen.
For readers of short fiction and of Luis Sepúlveda's travel and humanist stories, with real characters rescued from oblivion.
