Un precioso y poético álbum escrito por José Saramago con evocadoras ilustraciones de Amanda Mijangos.
«Antes de construir el primer barco, el hombre se sentó en la playa a mirar el mar».
Esta es la historia de un hombre que vive al lado del mar. Es el mismo mar el que le da todo lo que necesita para sobrevivir. La vida espera, pero hace falta coraje para adentrarse en las aguas sonoras de este océano. El hombre sabe que este mar que le da todo, si quiere, puede arrebatárselo.
