Title of the work:

THE GAUCHOS, LIVING GUITARS.

Pseudonym (made by):

I'iov the Karaite.

CATEGORY: Worldviews: politics, culture and society.

Introduction and dedication:

I dedicate this work to be interpreted in a play, just as it was done in ancient times among the Greeks (although they did it in a way that honored Dionysus the god of wine , and in a sung manner, solemnly sung by the actors and the narrator ).

So that in the past it was only men who acted; and now, with more freedoms, I can say that people of all genders participate in it.

Therefore, everyone who knows the truth will not settle for just listening a little, but will pursue it to the end. So I reformulate my dedication: To the truth and only to the personified truth.

»— He goes into his hut, and begins to read the manuscript, which had actually been a poem, a cantata about life:

— Rogelio: It happened in the fields, where I finished my work every weekend, as a day laborer who is
