Description:
**YACHAY AMARU: La serpiente del conocimiento** is a philosophical literary novel inspired by the Andean worldview, Indigenous knowledge and the cultural memory of the Cañari people. Following the journey of Tacuri Tenesaca, the novel explores wisdom not as the accumulation of answers but as a lifelong transformation of perception. Rich in symbolism, nature and reflection, it offers a contemplative reading experience where every mountain, river and path becomes a teacher, inviting readers to rediscover memory, identity and the enduring dialogue between humanity and the natural world.
