La Gran Borrachera (Spanish, Paperback)

Both an acidic critique of society and a manual for learning how to think for oneself, this novel explores the abyss of the materialistic world and presents an initiatory journey in three parts. In the first, the narrator finds himself in an underworld full of drunks and eccentrics; he then ascends to a supposedly higher rung of society, populated by phony artists, politicians, and scientists who live in their artificial paradises with their false idols. Last of all is the awakening, the transformation into a new reality after getting to know himself better, rejecting the vicious cycles of alcohol and false wisdom. "Una acida critica de la sociedad y a la misma vez un manual para aprender a pensar, esta novela explora los abismos del mundo materialista y presentan viaje iniciatico dividido en tres etapas. En la primera, el narrador se encuentra en un inframundo lleno de borrachos y personajes extravagantes; asciende despues a un peldano y que superior de la sociedad, poblado por farsantes del arte, de la politica y de la ciencia que viven en paraisos artificiales con sus falsos dioses. Finalmente viene el despertar, la transformacion hacia una nueva realidad luego de conocerse mejor, rechazando los circulos viciosos del alcohol y de la falsa sabiduria."
