The work is based on the historical fact of the American conquest and the mythical beliefs of the mapuche, aztec and mayan, narrated as a fictional story. The history and the myths are analyzed as previous texts with the intertextuality theory, through which, one can identify important symbols of the American cultures mythologies named before, such as the meanings of the deer, rain, forest, corn and more.
