Enquire about this workAnd there always exists a soul that escapes before its body, not without first striving to save it, to contribute to the breaking of the chains that grip it. Kneading freedom, always freedom, in the lifetime of man and in any of his circumstances. The protagonist thinker of this work yearns for that metamorphosis, perhaps a postmodern Prometheus? A philosophical metaphor characterizes the narrative of this piece, counterpointed with a certain poet’s craft that Cuevas Vidueiro cannot hide.
