12 Fantastic Stories

By MARIO RAIMUNDO CAIMACÁN

This collection of twelve fantastic stories brings together traditional narratives far from literary experiments, narratives that reflect two fundamental thematic lines:
1) The destruction of the environment by the irrational, selfish, disorganized and irresponsible Humanity; and
2) The defects, evils, cognitive deficiencies and contradictions that affect Humanity, which determine the precariousness and injustices suffered by a large part of human societies: Wars, genocide, massacres, slavery and exploitation, racism, oppression, ignorance, obscurantism, political and religious fanaticism, dictatorships and tyrannies.
Mario Raimundo Caimac n does not have an optimistic vision of Humanity, due to its hopeless history of wars, genocide, massacres, slavery and other terrible tragedies; This pessimistic vision makes him see Humanity as an irrational, selfish and violent species, which in his fantastic stories, some of which can be classified as science fiction, excludes the possibility of our species being considered "intelligent life", and in According to some accounts, if there were "aliens" (other than many of the numerous gods of the different religions), they would surely see us as a very dangerous plague that they would try to avoid and would even be able to eradicate us to take over our beautiful planet, to which we are attached. we insist on destroying in expression of our suicidal irrationality. These are the titles of the 12 stories that form a kind of unfinished puzzle of the complexity of our past and present and have in common the presence of the fantastic, which take place in Hispanic human geography and reflect our chaotic world:
1) Mario and La Cervantista
2) Don Quixote against the Modern Endriagos
3) The Pious
4) The Prisoner of "The Superior Race"
5) The Sacred Stones
6) A Blonde from Another World
