Chronicles of the Impossible is a balanced collection of stories written by the poet Lur Sotuela and illustrated by Julio Silva. Psychological depth, human concerns and a caustic black humour pervade each of these 25 stories.

A side-splitting romantic comedy and witty satire on the safari and jungle adventure genre.

In 1969 the author begins his unusual journey east to save his girlfriend who is imprisoned in Beirut. When he doesn't achieve this, he decides to continue travelling. His open attitude to people and his positive poetic predisposition to marvel at everything is balanced by a sense of reality and justice which makes him rebel against the abuses he sees throughout his journey.

Hermeneutics is a fundamental (founding) stance within the human sciences, which defines its task as the comprehensive interpretation of the real in its many senses. Springing from the linguistic turn taken by the Neohermeneutist H.G. Gadamer into Heideggerian waters, Hermeneutics appears as a theory and practice of interpretation which finds its medium or mediation of meaning in language.
