An orphaned teenager joins a group of sailors on a boat to try to change his luck. The cabin boy of this Spanish expedition to the Río de la Plata, at the beginning of the 16th century, is captured by the Colastiné Indians. As the only prisoner, he learns about traditions and rituals that confront him with new perceptions of reality. In this novel, Saer places us in front of questions such as the real, memory and language from a philosophical perspective, within a story that reads like an adventure book. El entenado is one of the most important works of Juan José Saer's work, one of the most influential novelists and essayists of the 20th century.
