Additionally, in the book “Yearning to Return”, there is a set of contents that, without moving away from the reflective stance, which Carlos Dorado always pursues with his texts, intends for the reader to know in a curious way some experiences and lessons that he has lived at first person, or who has received as a learning from the example that his parents gave him; and that he recounts them so that the reader finds some identification in them, and that they are of practical use and even self-reflection.
