Caballero Carmelo

Caballero Carmelo

by Abraham Valdelomar Pinto

El caballero Carmelo is a classic Peruvian short story by Abraham Valdelomar. It is considered one of the best examples of criollismo, a literary movement that celebrated the culture and traditions of rural Peru. The story is narrated in the first person by a young boy who tells the tale of his beloved rooster, the Caballero Carmelo. The rooster is a symbol of courage and strength, and his fight against a younger, stronger rooster is a metaphor for the struggles of life.
