The last storyteller

Young Petra Peña is in love with magical fairy tales that her grandmother Lita tells her under the blanket of the starry sky a few hours before the end of the Earth. She knows that people with the talent of a storyteller are born occasionally, so she is sure that her granddaughter will become a great storyteller. Instead, the girl's parents see her as a biologist in the future. After hundreds of years of intergalactic travel, they will be brought out of the state of stasis, in order to, together with other chosen ones, prepare everything for the settlement of people on the planet Sagan. Why is it so important to remember everything that our ancestors bequeath to us? Who, at the cost of his own life, will secretly transfer to Petra the knowledge of all the legends and tales of the earthly civilization? And what do the ancient stories of her people really hide? The key to what will they become during an intergalactic journey to a new planet, to start life on which the author of this book, quite coincidentally, entrusts the children with? The well-known American writer Donna Barba Igera, an incomparable storyteller, offers her answers to these and many other, sometimes completely childish, questions.
