Abstract
The motivations of Ricardo Chinchilla in writing his book In the light of a candle, published in 2016. In an interview I made to this author on March 3, 2017, he said that the stories in this book he wrote in a first version when he was in school, about thirty years ago and had remained unchanged until he proposed to publish them in order to preserve a heritage, place them in an educational dimension and thereby translate his work as a writer. For him, writing these stories has been an experience of pleasure, pleasure to transmit some stories, to get them out of his.References
