"Hotel Laguna" by Alexander Gorkow is a touching narrative that explores the magic of childhood and the longing for the sea. After more than thirty years, the author returns to the Mallorcan village of Canyamel, where he spent unforgettable summers with his family. In this modern tragicomedy, Gorkow reflects on the formative experiences of his childhood, the people who accompany us throughout our lives, and the dreams we hold onto. With a melancholic yet humorous perspective, he recounts beach days and the timeless fascination of the sea. "Hotel Laguna" is not only a return to one's roots but also a poetic homage to Mallorca and the memories that shape us. The narrative invites readers to reflect on their own dream places and explore the significance of family and memories.
