Summary

This title is in Spanish.

This novel by Sylvia Iparraguirre is based on the story of a Ymara Indian named Jemmy Button.

In 1830, a British sea captain removes Jemmy from his native land, Cape Horn, Argentina, with the intent of taking him to London and converting him into a polished and civilized man. Jemmy then returns to his homeland to influence the barbaric people to become civilized like the British. It is only during a trial in the Islas Malvinas (Falkland Islands) that the experiment is revealed as a miserable failure.
