Oficios de otros tiempos

The trades featured in these pages no longer exist, or have transformed so much that we barely recognize them. Yet, they constitute a treasure worth preserving. That is why this book was written—like a small box of memories preserving the sounds, scents, textures, and colors of an era we never experienced ourselves, but which our grandparents and great-grandparents did. Amidst the rhymes and verses, the old tools and new words, lie clues to what life was like in days gone by. Each poem opens a door to another time, and every illustration allows us to glimpse these trades with a fresh, humorous perspective. Do you want to become a magician of memories, an explorer of times past, or a guardian of tradition?
