La etimología de texto cobra todo su sentido al leer esta historia, es un tejido prodigioso hecho de palabras. Seguir a Hevré Joncour en su viaje hasta Japón por conseguir los huevos de orugas de la seda, seguir el bello dibujo que Baricco realiza para mostrar ese universo, que es la vida y el amor. El protagonista se enamora de una mujer en el extranjero y ama a su esposa. Conocemos las peripecias de un viaje físico hasta el confín del mundo pero también emocional. Narración maestra tanto por lo bien realizada como porque uno quisiera escribir una así.

3.5stars rounded to 4.
Almost lyrical like written story about how a local man is paid by silk mill owner to travel to Japan to get silk worm eggs where he falls in love with a girl. But the ending is sad when he learns the truth about the final letter he received

Wow, que belleza de historia. Una Odisea que nace con los huevos de los gusanos de la seda. El viaje de la vida y de lo que dejamos. Misterio y sensualidad. Tristeza y recuerdos.

صحيح أني أحب الروايات ذات اﻷثر الخفيف على الروح، إلا أن هذه الرواية ذات أثر خفيف أكثر من اللازم لدرجة أن هذا اﻷثر يتلاشي تدريجيًا مع مواصلة القراءة وحتى الوصول إلى النهاية ولا يبقى منها شيئًا في النهاية.
