Paco Yunque is a story by the Peruvian writer César Vallejo, first published in 1951. The story takes place in a school in an unnamed town and tells the vicissitudes of a shy and humble child who, from his first day of class, must endure the mistreatment and humiliation of Humberto Grieve, son of his mother's employers. Through this story, Vallejo addresses issues such as social injustice, abuse of power and discrimination.
César Abraham Vallejo Mendoza was a Peruvian poet, writer, playwright, and journalist. Although he published only two books of poetry during his lifetime, he is considered one of the great poetic innovators of the 20th century in any language. Thomas Merton called him "the greatest universal poet since Dante". The late British poet, critic and biographer Martin Seymour-Smith, a leading authority on world literature, called Vallejo "the greatest twentieth-century poet in any language." He was a member of the intellectual community called North Group formed in the Peruvian north coastal city of Trujillo.
