      Introduction

      This book describes a slave's journey from the deepest state of poverty to the fulfillment of a prophecy, a destiny that he himself foresees when he states in his thoughts: I feel peaceful when I look at the sky, as if I am being embraced in the tranquility of the universe.

      How does he respond to the temptations set in his path and all the challenges? With humility and faith in the many strangers he encounters who guide him to his unpredictable end.

      Chapter 1 - Despised

      Prostitutes abound and this is ironic for marriages that continue to be consummated as a rule.

      It seems that wars serve as an excuse for when sex becomes boring. It is an age of violence and suffering in which we live. And yet, humans don't seem to feel their souls, they don't seem to feel the need for purpose in life.

      I am poor and so is my family. I live in a corner of a square where every day they look at me like I'm not entitled to a heart that beats and asks for food.

      My mother begs every day. Asks for my sisters. For to her I am the devil's son.

      She does not consider me her son and brings me with
