The work delves into various historical and cultural anecdotes from Peru, blending humor, tragedy, and elements of the supernatural, while often reflecting on the behaviors and characteristics of its inhabitants. The opening portion introduces colorful tales featuring intriguing characters such as a proud admiral and a poetic viceroy, setting the foundation for a vibrant exploration of Peruvian lore. At the start of "Tradiciones peruanas," Palma presents an engaging narrative that revolves around a series of events involving the proud almirante of Cuzco and the poetic viceroy Francisco de Borja. The almirante, known for his arrogance, mistreats the townspeople, leading to a local clergyman's desperate prayer for divine justice. This prayer is humorously answered when the almirante meets a mysterious demise supposedly orchestrated by mischievous duendes. The narrative serves as a commentary on authority and justice in colonial Peru, weaving together elements of folklore with historical context to entertain and enlighten the reader.
