THE GIANT OF THE LAKE

Text & illustrations Alice Bossut & Marco Chamorro

Ñuka hatun yayatami uyarkani… (kichwa)
I’ve heard my grand parents tell…

The region of Imbabura, in the north of Ecuador, is the scene of a strange quest. A charming and dreamy giant is looking for a lagoon his size to take a good bath. Along the way he discovers that sometimes things are not as they seem.

This Kichwa myth invites us to travel through the Andes to discover its mountains, volcanoes, and impressive lagoons. Beautiful accordion, originally silkscreened, that connects us with an ancient Andean myth through vigorous illustrations.
Foreword by Gustavo Puerta Leisse.
