The Hedonist is a marvelous autobiographic, novelised story of a man to whom the most extravagant things happened since his very early age.Great world traveller the author was actor in important political and social-cultural events of the XX century such as the parisian student rebelions in #xB4;68 in Paris, the cuban revolution, the coming to power of Salvador Allende in Chile and many more.The author lived and worked also for over 20 years in Central and West Africa from where he brings us a bag of pictoresques discriptions of the peoples encountered. The critical analisis of all these experiences as his personal outlook on catholic and other religions gives us a new light and an original outlook to interprete our history.Narated in a casual, humoristic form, The Hedonist captivates from the first to the last page. It will not be strange if many people come out of this book with high hedonistic sympaties.
