Bag om The Adventures and Misadventures of Luis Cabrejos

THE ADVENTURES AND MISADVENTURES OF LUIS CABREJOSIn this delightful novel, the protagonist, Luis Cabrejos, doctor in Spanish grammar, founder and the only member of the International Institute of Nameology, recounts in his "autobiography" his adventures and misadventures. These take him from his native Lima, where he studied in a school run by British teachers, to a university in Madrid. Then, back in Lima, after being sent to prison, he later lives with a tribe of Indians in the Peruvian jungle.Finally, closing the circle of his saga, he returns to the school where he spent his childhood, but this time as a Spanish teacher.Cabrejos remains always, despite his misadventures, optimistic and enthusiastic, although he is plagued by an irrational obsession, similar to that of his former teacher whose place he now occupies.The background of the story is a satire of the Latin American world of the 20th century, with its corruption and coups d'état.
