The Municipal Library will host the presentation of the book ‘Semillas de Mandarina’ by the teacher Marina Moro Medrano from Aracena

It will take place on Friday 31, at 7:00 p.m., in the ‘María Zambrano’ Hall, with free access.

The Estepona City Council informs that the ‘Maria Zambrano’ Room of the Municipal Library, located in the Padre Manuel Cultural Center, will host on Friday, May 31, at 19.00 hours, the presentation of the book ‘Semillas de Mandarina’ with the presence of the author, Marina Moro Medrano.

Written in poetic prose, this book is a collection of small texts and reflections about love, first times, heartbreak and discovery. A book to find ourselves reflected in each sentence and ‘revisit’ sensations. A book to put words to everything intangible that we cannot express. With illustrations by Sara Arias ‘Pimpilipausa’, the book belongs to the collection ‘El Ojo ilustrado’, from Ediciones ‘En Huida’.

“This book is the reflection of a process. A process in which I have been deconstructing the romantic love that I have idealized so much, to a more realistic love. Realizing that the best love is the one I feel because it is real and true, not a story told in a fairy tale. It has been a process of a long time, of turns in the Ferris wheel, of comings and goings. Many of these texts were written almost ten years ago. Many of these texts no longer coincide with my way of thinking, but they are important. They are the seeds that have sown the path to the person I want to become. They are the seeds of Mandarina”, says the author.

Marina Moro. “I was born in Guadalajara in 1992 and I was lucky to have a family that took me to the library every week and told me that I could write a book too. I won a writing contest when I was ten years old and it seemed so impossible that for years I thought the prize was a consolation prize. I wrote the texts in this book from the age of sixteen as a need not to explode, because it was easier to tell on paper what I felt than to anyone around me. Now I hope to put words to the feelings of those who do not know how to express what they carry inside”.

The author currently lives in Estepona, where she works as a teacher in the English Department of IES Mar de Alborán.
