Three holy cities

A brief about the book "Shanka", "Tixcacal", and "Chun Bome" three cities in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, enjoyed great religious significance during the class war, which the Maya carried out against the Spanish colonizers. The religious importance of these cities is due to their being centers of the phenomenon of speaking crosses. In this exquisite book, the French writer (winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2008), with superb poeticism, narrates his observations in these towns, in an enchanting style, for trees, water, wind, forests, sky, and earth all become personified in Lucile's writing, as he has a unique ability to transform nature and its elements into vibrant sensory objects.
