The Sage of the Mountain
is a work that achieves the most difficult task: reconciling the wound with beauty.
Serger Marcon writes from the depths and offers the reader not an easy path, but a mirror.
Through a narrative that vibrates with symbols, silences, metaphors, and introspection, the author guides us through the cracks of a childhood marked by abandonment, up to the summit of authentic healing.
Elihu, the sage of the mountain, joins the pantheon of great literary mentors.
He is an unforgettable character, just like Hector, whose humanity resonates page after page.
With a structure in two books: one intimate, almost confessional; the other dialogued, almost mystical—this work is not only read: it is breathed.
A book that deserves to be translated, illustrated, adapted, and above all, read with an awakened soul.
Back Cover Synopsis
Change does not begin in the world.
It begins in your gaze.
From childhood, Hector carried a void he could not name.
A silence in his chest, a question without an answer.
Until, as an adult, in an isolated farm, he meets Elihu: an old sage who seems to come from another time… or another dimension.
Through profound conversations, endearing anecdotes, and poetic revelations, The Sage of the Mountain accompanies the reader on a journey that leads from wound to awakening.
This book is for those who have loved without being seen, for those who have lived with a broken soul but still believe in the light.
It is an invitation to heal what was forgotten, to remember what is essential, and to finally become one’s own inner sage.
An intimate journey toward what hurts… and toward what can bloom.
