This story tells a family history and the destiny of a very exceptional person: Joaquin Edwards Bello, uncle of the author and great-grandchild of the brilliant writer Andres Bello. These pages are an extraordinary parade of characters, a gift full of surprises, which take us to extreme opposite worlds, allowing us to see from the inside a rough and adventurous life of someone who, by his unwillingness to accept the norms, his opened and scandalous social revolt, became a living legend.
