La frontiera scomparsa is a work by Luis Sepúlveda that recounts personal experiences of the author during his time in prisons of the Chilean regime and his exile. Through various episodes, such as his stay in Montevideo and an encounter on the Bolivian border, Sepúlveda offers a look at the life of a young man in search of his identity and freedom in Latin America. The book, published by Guanda in 1996, is a reflection on memory, identity, and the struggle for ideals in a context of oppression and exile.
