Synopsis
When European historian Julian Ferrer Valls travels to a remote island to verify an impeccable civil record, he expects to correct an administrative error. The document is clear, official, undeniable: Esteban Roca Salvatierra died minutes after birth in 1954. Yet everything that followed proves otherwise.
A lifetime of scientific achievements, a marriage, children, publications, and decades of documented existence contradict a certificate that shows no flaw. As Julian begins his investigation, guided by the enigmatic Lucia Marin Herrera, he enters a world where archives fail, memory resists verification, and time itself appears to obey a different order.
Set between the precision of European archives and the living memory of an island shaped by unseen traditions, Hippocampus is a philosophical literary novel about identity, memory, and the fragile boundary between what is recorded and what is real. Some lives are measured in years. Others are measured in crossings.
