About the book
"Rufino Jose Cuervo era un hombre insolito: en el pais de los doctores aspirantes a la presidencia, ni era doctor ni aspiraba a nada. Aunque no paso por la universidad y se enseno solo, llego a saber lo que nadie de este idioma. Dejo su pais para no volver y se fue a Francia, donde acometio una obra colosal, el Diccionario de construcción y regimen de la lengua castellana, la empresa mas delirante de la raza hispanica. El Diccionario se le quedo inconcluso. Molesto tal vez porque un simple mortal en una mÃsera vida pretendiera abarcar tanto, todo un idioma, Dios no quiso que lo terminara. Quiso en cambio (designios suyos inescrutables) que este hombre puro, generoso y de alma grande entrara en su Gloria. El cuervo blanco incoa y lleva a feliz termino su proceso de canonización."--Amazon. "Rufino Jose Cuervo was a remarkable man: in the country of doctors aspiring to become presidents, he was neither a doctor nor did he aspire to anything. A self-taught man, he becomes an expert in the language and decides to settle in France, where he undertakes a colossal piece of work: the Dictionary of Construction and the Governing System of the Spanish Language. But God had other plans for him."--Amazon.
