«El enigma y el espejo» is the children's and young adult novel by Jostein Gaarder, published by Siruela in hardback (157 pages, in Spanish).
During Christmas festivities, Cecilia, a sick girl who must stay in bed, strikes up a conversation with Ariel, a curious angel who wants to understand people. Through questions and answers, Cecilia imagines what life is like beyond Earth, what dreams are, imagination, or how far one can fly. A fable that invites us to look without fear at the other side of the mirror.
