Tomás is a young reader who shares the story of General San Martín with his nephews. They have already learned something at school, but at their uncle’s bookstore it is different. Among the shelves filled with books, in the corner with cushions where they have their snack, they listen, fascinated, to a story that inspires and moves them.

With sensitivity and an exhaustive knowledge of Argentine history, Daniel Balmaceda reviews the life and work of San Martín to remind us that the most incredible feats can only be achieved if we dare to imagine the impossible.
