Overview

Un Viaje Ordinario is a gripping biography of a boy's journey from a small town to the world's edges as a street brawler, adventurer, and businessman, tangled in Soviet espionage and international crime.

Description
Un Viaje Ordinario is an extraordinary biography in two parts, chronicling a life of chaos, adventure, and transformation. It follows a boy from a remote small town as he becomes a wanderer, street brawler, adventurer, and businessman. Fate draws him into Soviet espionage and an international criminal network, setting the stage for a riveting survival story. Marking his turbulent journey to adulthood, the protagonist wrestles with mental struggles and a relentless search for meaning. Oscillating between extremes—indifference and excitement, hedonism and asceticism—his life is anything but ordinary. The sequel, Lapis de Goa, continues the saga, tracing childhood dreams into adulthood and across distant lands. What connects these stories? A young man, still fleeing inner turmoil, embarking on a timeless quest to unravel life's mysteries. As one reviewer says: "A story so extraordinary, it seems impossible—and yet, it happened."
