The Martian s House is an intimate trip to childhood as secret territory, where the day to day transforms into prodigy. In this book Eduardo Johnson combines memory and fantasy to bring up a house inhabited by rooms where infancy plays under crystal roofs. With humor, poetry and a luminous look, these stories reveal that the extraordinary may be hidden in what is closest. More than tales, this work is an initiation trip: the family, the games and the childhood fears are transformed into symbols of belonging and astonishment. Each page reveals the alchemy of the domestic and the martian, of the intimate and the universal.
