Here is told the story of a man of two countries. He is Manuel Ruiz. But Manuel Ruiz could be called Antonio, Fabian, or José. It is the story of the immigrant who left bis village in search of ad venture and well-being. He is the Galician, Catalan, Canarian, Andalusian, Asturian, or from Estramadura ... who tried to forge for himself a new destiny, contributing essentially to create the personality of America.
He could be called Antonio, Fabian, José, but above all this is the story of Manuel Ruiz, 'El Gallego'. Because that is how the ones who immigrate to Latin America from Spain are called. Through all of them p-assed life, and all of them have been, and are, precious ductile metals or active actors of the geography of the new world, 'blue over blue', 'green over green'. Of a New World which changes destinies like 'a firm idea changes the destiny of man.' (pressbook)
