“La Estrellita Caili es un cuento dedicado a mi nieta, pero más que un regalo, es un reflejo de su propio ser: de la ternura que la ilumina, la curiosidad con que se mueve y la luz que deja huella en quien posa sus ojos en ella.”
“La Estrellita Caili is a story dedicated to my granddaughter, but more than a gift, it is a reflection of her own being: of the tenderness that lights her, the curiosity with which she moves, and the light that leaves a mark on anyone who lays eyes on her.” Félix Manuel |

| Aunque valoro las ideas y la mirada crítica de Sábato, esta obra no me impactó tanto como otras. Tiene reflexiones valiosas, pero en mi caso no logró la misma conexión emocional ni literaria que El túnel. | |

Lo que se aprende en el camino Mientras se avanza se aprende que no se trata de abarcar, sino de cuidar lo esencial. El verdadero logro no está en hacerlo todo, sino en hacer bien lo que está al alcance hacer.

What is learned along the way
As one moves forward, one learns that it’s not about grasping everything, but about caring for what is essential. True achievement isn’t found in doing it all, but in doing well what is within reach.
