Pablo Ortega presents La Mirada, a short story from the countryside: a tale that unites nature, values, and solidarity.

On November 25th, the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid will host the presentation of Pablo Ortega's new book , "La Mirada, una breve historia de campo" (The Look, a Short Country Story ). With this work, the author delves into the children's and young adult genre, offering a value-filled story about nature and hunting, accompanied by illustrations by Ximena Maier.
Ortega describes La Mirada, a short country story , as a work designed for different audiences: "It's a book that a parent can read to their children, but it also invites an adult reader to reflect," she explains. The story follows the experiences of a girl who has just overcome a serious illness and her hunting dog, Roldán, on a journey through the countryside that allows them to learn about nature and its connection to humankind.
Although hunting appears in the narrative, it does not play a central role. Rather, it serves as a common thread to convey to families that hunting, understood ethically, is part of the natural cycle. Throughout the book, it is emphasized how the protagonist's family occasionally eats game meat, demonstrating an educational approach to this topic.
The publication's purpose is entirely altruistic, with three main objectives: to allocate the funds raised to the Recover Foundation, which supports hospitals in Africa; to convey the idea that hunting is a natural practice; and to serve as a resource for parents to explain this activity to their children from a respectful and realistic perspective.
The choice of the National Museum of Natural Sciences for the presentation reinforces the educational nature of the work, creating an ideal environment to connect attendees with the values of conservation and learning about nature.
With La Mirada, a short country story , Pablo Ortega invites readers of all ages to enjoy a unique story that combines adventure, learning, and solidarity, becoming a literary experience that transcends generations.
