An old man dying is more than a library going up in flames. Among the sources of history, orality plays an important role in the knowledge of the past.
The tales, for their part, are an inexhaustible source of richness of the lived and the social morals of the facts of the past of those who preceded us. In a society in conquest of social value, the tales illustrate themselves as the best remedy to the agony of the moral in our societies, today dominated by corruption, treason, and so on.
The collection of tales is a work of updating social values which, even if upon first sight, they do not seem to provide us with the material and carnal needs of this world, how many times insatiable, leads us to the elevation of self.
