- Summary:
- "En el Guayrá, una misión jesuítica en el medio de la selva, el padre Antonio Ruiz y su fiel ayudante, el padre Jesús Maceta, viven sus días imbuídos en un cristianismo profundamente creyente e igualmente alucinado. Entre aborígenes y niños músicos que siguen sus enseñanzas y sus órdenes, los días y las aventuras se suceden. El cristianismo de la misión está repleto de leyes y prohibiciones, que en primera instancia parecen caprichosas. Para que no falte nada, se presenta Overá, que se dice Hijo de Dios, nacido de "un rayo de luz guardado nueve meses en un cántaro", y hermano de Jesús. La presencia de Overá desconcierta y trastoca la vida de la misión."--Publisher's description.
- "In Guayrá, a Jesuit mission in the middle of the jungle, Father Antonio Ruiz and his faithful assistant, Father Jesús Maceta, live out their days imbued with a deeply believing and equally hallucinated Christianity. Among aborigines and child musicians who follow their teachings and their orders, days and adventures follow one another. Mission Christianity is full of laws and prohibitions, which at first glance seem capricious. So that nothing is missing, Overá presents himself, who calls himself the Son of God, born of "a ray of light kept nine months in a pitcher", and brother of Jesus. Overá's presence disconcerts and disrupts the life of the mission."--Publisher's description.
