On June 19th , at 7:00 PM, in the Auditorium of the Palencia Public Library , come and celebrate a musical presentation of the book "Pampierre, the Soldier and Other Stories" by Dani Benito and Eva Noroña . The presentation will feature the Palencia Popular University Choir.

Sometimes all it takes is a cup of coffee, a song, an unexpected phone call. Or a letter. And everything changes. This book gathers scenes that might otherwise go unnoticed: a waiter with a piercing, a captivating rain, an espresso poured with precision. But here, these everyday details become open windows onto the places where life burns: a love that shatters, a past that returns, a silence that screams what no one dares to say. From the rainy streets of Zurich to a hospital in Mexico City, from military recruitment in war-torn France to a one-way trip to New York, Pampierre, the Soldier and Other Stories captures the exact moment when something breaks forever—or perhaps, finally, is revealed. Reading this book is like sneaking into the private lives of others. Its characters—teachers, drivers, lovers, mothers, would-be soldiers—speak aloud, but it is their gestures, glances, and silent decisions that reveal more than they say. And once you're in, you can't get out the same way. Because what starts as an ordinary scene can end up being an earthquake.
