The book
Atahualpa con su abrigo de pelo de murciélago
y otras 49 historias verdaderas que parecen mentira
By Edgar Landívar·Kindle edition · In Spanish
The stories I tell here, gathered and expanded: 50 real episodes so incredible they sound made up. The same wonder of Neomano, now to read cover to cover.
What it's about
For a decade, on Neomano I've been collecting the kind of stories you tell at the dinner table and nobody quite believes: real, documented facts that sound made up. This book gathers and expands them.
It's 50 true episodes —from history, science, geography and the human condition— written to be read in one sitting. The same wonder of the blog, curated and ordered to keep you company cover to cover.
