The narrative unfolds through a man's recollection of his near-death experience and subsequent recovery, highlighting his struggle against despair and pain. Rescued by a compassionate native woman, he endures a challenging convalescence filled with fevered rants and a fierce will to survive. His reflections reveal a deep connection to the land and a complex relationship with his own vulnerability. As he grapples with his past and the haunting beauty of sunsets, he ultimately seeks purpose and work beyond the confines of his suffering in Lima, journeying towards Cuzco.
