Carlo, el protagonista de la novela, encuentra su nombre impreso sobre la portada de un libro. Desconcertado, pregunta a su padre cómo pudo ocurrir. «El nombre es destino, Nomen est omen. Las palabras tienen magia, poder. Te llamé igual que el afamado autor, Carlo Collodi, como augurio de un horizonte brillante y exitoso para ti», respondió.Desde ese día, Carlo se obsesiona; fascinado se dedica a cazar palabras y dichos cuyo significado no comprende del todo. Algunas son bellas: La mar, pero ¿por qué llamamos Tierra al planeta si la mayoría de su super cie la cubre el océano? Otras hieren sin saber lo que se dice: ¿Adónde va a dar alguien cuando lo mandamos al carajo? Algunas son divertidas: ¿Qué diablos es un arrechucho? Muchas intrigan: ¿Cuál es el origen de la frase hablar largo y tendido?Esta aventura, que inicia como juego, lleva a Carlo a concluir, de manera empírica, que el lenguaje no es solo la capacidad humana de nombrar todo aquello que miramos y sentimos. Es, sobre todo, lo que nos constituye, lo que da significado a lo que somos, lo que explica nuestra forma de ser y entender el mundo.En una historia imaginativa y amena, Raúl Elcan explora nuestra identidad a través de lo que decimos y escuchamos. Su pluma libera palabras que permanecían enjauladas; durante el vuelo confiesan que, muchas veces, hablamos sin ton ni son, producimos mucho ruido y pocas nueces. 10
