Being Luis: A Chilean Life

A voice for those who were silenced. This is a powerful account of a life that reflects recent Chilean history from the 1960s to the present through the author?s extraordinary personal experiences.

It recounts his magical, sometimes harsh, childhood, his development as a left-wing activist, his arrest and torture by the military regime and eventual exile to England.

It is a story of love and survival in a time when the young were prepared to sacrifice everything, including their lives, for a better future.

When ordinary people did great things and dared to dream great dreams.

Uplifting, at times devastating, this story will move everyone who reads it.

It speaks for a lost generation who paid the ultimate price for their ideals.
