En una pequeña isla existe un buzón en el que solo se admiten cartas de amor. Una historia real sobre el poder de la imaginación.

Había una vez un hombre de espíritu excéntrico y bohemio que vivía en una pequeña ciudad en la isla de La Palma. Se hacía llamar El Conde de Velhoco, y muchos veneraban su reino imaginario, sus ideas y su manera fascinante de ver la vida. Un día, harto de recibir facturas, el Conde escribió sobre su buzón las palabras "Solo cartas de amor" en señal de protesta por tanta burocracia. Al poco tiempo, ante la sorpresa de los habitantes de la casa, empezaron a llegar decenas de cartas de lugareños y extranjeros relatando sus pasiones y sus penas. De eso hace más de diez años y nunca han dejado de llegar.

Una historia tan real como increíble y emocionante sobre un hombre, Ángel Greses, que sabía mirar el mundo con ojos mágicos y consiguió contagiar de su hechizo a los habitantes de una isla, a su familia y a miles de personas que, rebelándose a lo anodino, en contra de lo esperado, decidieron compartir sus emociones más íntimas con un desconocido a través de una pequeña ranura. En estas páginas, Guadalupe Greses hace un maravilloso ejercicio narrativo que es a la vez un homenaje al hombre, al mito que queda tras la muerte y al padre que fue.

"El cartero pasaba, sonreía al ver el mensaje si no estaba su mente soterrada por otros menesteres, y, acto seguido, procedía a atiborrarlo de papeles sin remordimiento, cumpliendo con su deber. ¿Qué otra cosa iba a hacer? La única diferencia era que, entre tanta miseria, de vez en cuando -muy de vez en cuando- aparecía una carta de amor anónima como una flor que brota repentina en medio de un vertedero".

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

On a small island, there is a mailbox that only accepts love letters. A true story about the power of imagination.

Once upon a time, there was an eccentric, bohemian man who lived in a small town on the island of La Palma. He called himself The Count of Velhoco, and many revered his imaginary kingdom, his ideas, and his fascinating way of looking at life. One day, fed up with receiving bills, the Count wrote the words "Love letters only" on his mailbox in protest of so much bureaucracy. Soon after, to the inhabitants' surprise, dozens of letters began to arrive from locals and foreigners retelling their passions and sorrows. That was more than ten years ago, and they have never stopped coming.

A story as real as it is incredible and exciting about a man, Ángel Greses, who knew how to look at the world with magical eyes and managed to cast his spell on the inhabitants of an island, his family, and thousands of people who, rebelling against the mundane and against expectations, decided to share their most intimate emotions with a stranger through a small slot. In these pages, Guadalupe Greses performs a wonderful narrative exercise that is at once a tribute to the man, to the myth that remains after death, and also to the father he was.

"The postman passed by, smiled when he saw the message, and then proceeded to stuff it with papers without remorse, fulfilling his duty. What else could he do? The only difference was that, amid so much misery, from time to time--very occasionally--an anonymous love letter would appear like a flower suddenly sprouting in the middle of a landfill.

My kid loves it
Format: Board book
I gave this book to my little boy as he usually looks at it in youtube. The look on his face when he received this book is priceless. No words can describe the feeling of happiness on his face. It was an amazing experience for me as well. This book, he bring wherever he goes. Because of the hard bound cover, it withstood his constant abuse. Volume and clarity of the sounds were amazing.

This one is a favorite!
Format: Board book
This really holds the interest of a toddler who loves animals, animal sounds, and pushing buttons! Good sound quality, and it's nice to have something to read about the animals instead of just labeled pictures.

All grandkids enjoyed these
Format: Board book
The grandkids always enjoy Eric Carle sound books. The older one reads the stories and the younger one likes to just push the buttons and listen and then say what the animal is. The sound is always nice and clear and the photos on the buttons are easily recognizable. As an added bonus these were offered at a great holiday price.
