A Tale of the Curses of the Winter Deer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798435433845)

A Tale of the Curses of the Winter Deer

After suffering an accident in a dark forest, two boys from a hidden village have the option of continuing to live. As long as they had a wish granted...
Josh, because he likes childhood so much, wants to be a kid forever. Friedrich, on the other hand, because he has another view of childhood, wants to grow up and become a great man. From there, Josh, who no longer grows a single inch, begins his journey looking for his friend who left the village where they lived. A search that begins on the eve of the First World War and that will last more than a hundred years, in an implacable world with those who do not follow its changes.

"We never healed from childhood"

This phrase sums up, in a way, the central theme of "A Tale of the Curses of the Winter Deer" by author L. C. Roman. A book that tells the playful, harrowing, and tireless search of Josh, a boy who wished he didn't grow up anymore, for his friend Friedrich, who wished to become the opposite.
Through a narrative that at first resembles that of a children's story, the book bumps into themes related to childhood that can only be understood when we have moved away from it. After all, Josh's long search for his friend is about the relentless impermanence of everything. About the inability to stop the changes, and what we lost in trying to do so. But above all, the intention is to entertain, offering a moving story, long, and that feels short when you finish reading. A story that doesn't frustrate the reader into feeling sad or happy. In which, the reflections are more side effects of the plot itself than its end in itself.
