In the Misty City of Captive Dolls (First pages)

This is a story profoundly linked to affection and to the recollections of its main character's youth and underscoring, as a result, a boy and his two companions in a mystical mysterious city bursting with undisclosed secrets, where they meet and fall in love with several women of remarkable beauty and unexpected uniqueness, who gradually fade out without a trace. The tale appears to spread out, consequently, from a most intense passionate outbreak or from the hastiest strangest shudder of tenderness. It is also, it has to be said, a story surrounded all the way through by certain baffling aura, a thorough frenzy of eroticism and the setting of an immaculate invincible terror. An overcast account, just like the unstrained scenery where the outstandingly unusual occurrences take place, and where sundry beautiful girls and inhibitions vanish and an assortment of diverse ambiguities flourish and become increasingly as peculiar as the most outlandish of locations for life itself to be situated.
