Foreword

Our scene? The Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo, a city founded by Bartholomew Columbus in the year 1496. It was the first city on the American continent, and was central headquarters of the “New World” administration. The city houses over 300

historical monuments, from churches, forts and monasteries, to the original homes of the great characters of that time. It is said that, despite the fact 500 years have gone by and the city is now a world heritage site, some of those characters cling on to the legendary city, and find themselves distinctly…out of place.

This story speaks of childhood innocence and the simplicity of friendship at a period of life when it is pure and without questioning. It also speaks of eternity and of a time when there was no room for any traditional prejudices.
