In 'El Entenado', Juan José Saer presents the story of a young Spanish cabin boy from the 16th century who, after being captured by the Colastiné Indians, finds himself immersed in an unknown culture and cannibalistic rituals. Through the eyes of the protagonist, we witness a cultural clash that leads him to question his own perceptions and values. Sixty years after this experience, the protagonist reflects on humanity and barbarism, confronting European rapacity with the peculiar humanity of the tribe that took him in.
