El sendero (The Trail)
by Mariano Díaz Prieto
Description
In this silent book, a youngster wakes up in a dangerous place and begins a life changing, initiation trip. Guided by a wise person, our narrator takes us through difficult moments and challenges; tests that will be sorted out, leading to the next levels of consciousness.
Through images, this book tells the story of a coming-of-age journey in which home is left behind to discover a new universe. Traversing fears and phantoms, following a very special guide, the hardest of challenges are overcome until the real self is found. From then on, it is just a matter of contemplating reality through different eyes. This is a wordless book which opens to different readings and interpretations, creating a narrative as the story progresses, and letting readers immerse themselves in a new reading experience every time.
