Y si los dragones fueran reales? Y si todos esos avistamientos en lagos africanos y en los oc anos de Indonesia fueran ciertos? Y si los hemos confundido con dinosaurios? Y si fueran capaces de volar, de respirar bajo el agua, de reproducirse...? En la que considera la m s querida de sus novelas, Bef nos cuenta que la respuesta a todas esas preguntas pudo haberse hallado en el barrio chino de Mexicali, Baja California, en el M xico posrevolucionario de principios del siglo pasado, tras una incre ble epopeya que abarca los cinco continentes del mundo. Una historia trepidante que avanza gracias a sagaces aventureros, ambiciosos traficantes de especies ex ticas, sabios paleont logos y un humilde veterinario oriundo de Guanajuato que espera cruzar junto a su hijo la frontera a Estados Unidos. What if dragons were real? And what if all those sightings in African lakes and the oceans of Indonesia were real? What if we've mistaken them for dinosaurs? And what if they could fly, breathe under water, or reproduce? The answer to these questions and more can be found in the Chinese neighborhood of Mexicali, Mexico, in the post-Revolution Mexico of the early twentieth century. This sprawling epic spans all the earth's continents is full of characters like clever adventurers, ambitious exotic animal smugglers, wise paleontologists, and a humble small-town vet from Guanajuato hoping to cross the US border with his son.
