...this small tribute to you who taught so much to those of us who wanted to be writers when we were young. I deplore the fact that you have not yet received a Nobel Prize, especially when it was given to so many who deserved it less, like me, who am only an adventurer...
...truth sought by Shanti concerns the fate of an uncle, Juan de Aguirre, who like himself was a seafarer. Throughout the beautifully told story of Shanti's growing up and taking to the sea, fragments of the uncle's life, some contradictory, some provocative, come to his attention.
