Remembering his childhood, Miguel tells of a wooden statue the size of a man, carved by a musical instrument maker before his death, so the people of Itape decided to place it at the top of the hill, so that it would become a landmark of the village. Massive events and wars take place, and the novel branches out to narrate the events of two decades of Paraguayan history, before returning to that hill with its steadfast statue, which has become very symbolic.
Rua Bastos shows history from the perspective of ordinary people, poignantly depicting their attempts to rebel against authority, revealing the brutality of the ironies of history when these people are forced to kill and die in senseless wars that they fight while standing with the very authority against which they rebel.
Using a linear sequence in narrating the events of his novel, and painting a huge mural about Paraguay, Rua Bastos writes, in a tight plot, his novel, which the great Argentine writer Borges said was one of America’s best novels...
Unlike the rest of the men in his village, Mario decides not to spend his life as an ordinary fisherman, so he decides, using his bicycle, to work as a postman in a small village, even though it only has one person who receives and sends letters. Chile's greatest poet, Pablo Neruda.
In his exile there, the poet lives as an observer and participant in the great changes taking place in Chile, and through small meetings and discussions about love, poetry and politics, a special relationship is established between him and the young postman who is immersed in love and enchanted by Neruda’s poetry, which he sees as his right because poetry does not belong to its writer but to those who need it. .
Through charming details of the human relations in a small village between the poet steeped in politics and the postman in love steeped in poetry, Scarmeta recounts the great political changes that took place in Chile and the rise and fall of revolutionary dreams.
