Summary
The novel narrates the problems of the Andean community of Rumi, led by mayor Rosendo Maqui, who faces the greed of the landowner Álvaro Amenábar y Roldán, who finally takes away their land. "Go elsewhere, the world is wide," say the looters to the community members. They will then look for a new place to live. But while it is true that the world is wide or immense, it will always be alien or strange to the community members. The tragic experience of many of them who go to make a living in other places, suffering the cruelest exploitation, suffering from illnesses and even death, will amply demonstrate this. For the Andean man, the community is the only uninhabitable place. This is the last message that the novel conveys to us.
