De la pampa argentine au sommet des Andes, du Mexique secoué par le tremblement de terre, au typique village castillan... Une humanité vaste et multiple dont le point commun est la langue : l'espagnol, qui relie ces hommes et leurs mondes. Ici, le petit gitan chétif côtoie le noir pêcheur de crabes des îles, l'aile du condor venge l'Indien humilié et le son alterné des tambours amenés par les esclaves de Guinée rythme la folle danse de la Saint-Jean, près de la côte caraïbe. Humour, émotion et ancienne sagesse en treize nouvelles.
