The "Hc svnt dracones" – Here Be Dragons – was a phrase coined by Roman cartographers, that appeared in the margins of navigational charts. It meant to warn sailors away from unknown areas, where sea monsters were believed to exist.
Here Be Dragons is a kaleidoscope of intertwining sagas and life stories. The novel forms a map of human relationships, that are, in turn, embedded in yet another map: the one of the complex and rich Japanese culture.
The journey is shrouded in an atmosphere of suspense in which the characters, driven by an intense inner search for what lies beyond the horizon, will have to confront their own "dragons".
Deeply magical, this novel grapples with the pain and upheaval of a reality marked by the encounters and missed encounters that dominate everyday life.
Alejandra Olivera makes her literary debut here with a work that captures to perfection the beauty and sensitivity of Japanese narrative. Reading it is an experience as stimulating as it is captivating.
