En Inglaterra, su país de origen, se consumen unos 1.300 millones de sándwichs al año, y es probable que esta cifra...

"¡Yo hago puchero, ella hace puchero! Yo hago ravioles, ella hace ravioles!".

Cuento Ilustrado: Capitán Cook

September 27, 2025 • 12:00 AM

De tanto en tanto se me daba por enamorarme. Pero mi timidez siempre me jugó en contra. Era Rómulo el simpático y el ganador de la familia. A mis hermanos varones y a mí siempre nos quedaba comer de las migajas que él dejaba. Éramos nueve: una mujer, Eliza, siete varones, y Rómulo, nuestro superhombre nietzscheano. Nuestros nombres eran todos comunes salvo el de él. Mis padres debieron haber presentido algo. Por eso yo era Juan, uno de los otros siete, y él Rómulo el príncipe...
