He Weeping Woman

The Weeping Woman

This book can be read forwards or backwards, either from A to Z or from Z to A; thus you will realize that the micro world described in this text is a wheel of fortune and a magical sphere. Fortune is changeable and magic sometimes reverses its spells against us. In whatever way you choose to read these pages, you will find more questions than answers concerning the human zoo described within. The unnatural environment of the cities shows us that men and women are capable of the most admirable, as well as the most horrible behaviours. Here you will find an example of how, under both predictable and unpredictable circumstances, the love of a woman can transform itself into hatred, leading her to commit unthinkable actions.
