ENCICLOPEDIA DE LAS HADAS, LA

There are corners of the world where the everyday opens up to the invisible: a clearing illuminated by the moon, a river murmuring in the twilight, a mountain shrouded in mist. In these places, between nature and myth, fairies dwell. Tiny and unpredictable, mischievous and friendly, they are creatures that have accompanied humanity in its stories, legends, and beliefs since time immemorial. The Encyclopedia of Fairies brings together more than ninety of these fascinating beings, accompanied by illustrations that bring them back to life in all their splendor. Within its pages, you will encounter rain spirits invoked by ancient farmers, laments that foretell destinies in the hills of Ireland, impossible transformations in ancient Eastern myths, and silvery dances under the African sky. Each culture reveals in its own way the persistence of these figures in the collective imagination. This book is both a guide and a journey: a tour of the world's folklore and mythology, and at the same time a spell that reminds us that the extraordinary still beats in everyday life. Just pause for a moment to listen, amid the folds of silence, to the echo of an ancient and mysterious fluttering.
