Title: Albina people or dogs
Author: Alejandro Jodorowsky

really hard to review this book, like a fairy tale dreams, where the lives of
Jaibo, Albina, of Amado, Pata de Bombo and
Mama-Oello intertwine and create a web which is difficult to get rid
. An initiatory journey in search of their true nature
, than apperenze, longing for an authenticity that
requires courage and determination. And so the Jaibo (the crab)
so called because of its posture, seeking to hide his ugliness, unless
Albina from aggression and with her and she discovers a hitherto unknown
feeling: love. This child-woman, white as milk
and unable to control even his sphincters, will become the
Jaibo daughter, friend, companion. With her face a journey to escape
Pata de Bombo, speaking to the nano amado
that will give them asylum despite being rejected. And with these strange character we
enter into a non-ordinary reality, but no less real
, where the limit is thin that divides life and dream, where you can rediscover
for what it is, throwing the mask you wear
to adjust to how others we perceive and to be finally
what is a fragment of the divine. As said this is a very special
book, full of interesting ideas for those who can read between the lines
and is ready to receive the message it is intended.
