A different story...

This time we change a subject and we write a interesting story from Argentina.
Leandro Vesco, a very active Argentinian real estate agent and novelistwrote a novel about the water springs of Carhue village in Argentina. The writer wrote only the begining....the end was written by the village residents.

Everything started five years ago, when Leandro Vesco visited the Carhue village for the first time. The village is located 520km away from Buenos Aires and it is familiar for its thermal springs.

Vesco had already written many stories, which he was telling them only in artistic haunts, and none of them had ever been published. At the end of his stay in Carhue, he contrives a myth about a mysterious water spring of Soda. The water causes amnesia to whoever drinks it and starts the wrtiting of a novel. The characters are real residents of that village, but change their name and their job for their protection.

The novel cronicles the history of Carhue springs in our days, in about 500 pages. The story structures around the mysterious Soda's water spring of lake Epecuen, where Juan Calfulcura's army has gone to heal General Levalle. Nevertheless, the writer leaves the story unfinished.

The time that Vesco completes the first part of his book, he uploads some chapters of Facebook, www.facebook.com/novela.carhue. The second part of his book, it will be written by itself.

So, several Carhue residents, who knew them little, brought new ideas for the novel and they bacame more active characters. Wahtever age, the majority of the residents had an active participation in book's writting.

Other residents, used the Facebook page as a notice board, where the posted poems, notes, even researchning points of view about stray animals.

Until today, more than 1.200 people have visited the specific web page. An impressive number considering that only 1.000 residents of the village are connected with Internet.

Let's hope that we will witness something similar regarding Halkidiki and some of its villages!
