«Celebraciones» is the short story collection by French writer Michel Tournier, published by El Acantilado in paperback (360 pages, in Spanish).
In these brief texts, Michel Tournier celebrates the richness of the world: the hedgehog's walk, mother's milk, the horse, rivalry among trees, the secrets of low tide. There is also collective history, real or imagined, from Weimar to the origins of cinema, and a parade of famous or anonymous characters, with irony and tenderness.
Translation by Luis María Todó. Volume 61 of the El Acantilado collection.
