While there, he meets a mysterious man named Carlos, who claims to be a powerful political figure and a hero of the revolution. However, as Carrington delves deeper into Carlos' story, he begins to suspect that the man may not be who he claims to be.As Carrington investigates Carlos' past, he discovers a web of lies and deceit that threatens to unravel the entire revolution. Along the way, he falls in love with a beautiful young woman named Dolores, who is also caught up in the political turmoil. Together, Carrington and Dolores must navigate the dangerous world of South American politics and uncover the truth about Carlos before it's too late.The Make-Believe Man is a thrilling adventure story that explores themes of identity, truth, and the power of propaganda. Through his vivid descriptions of the South American landscape and his complex characters, Davis paints a vivid picture of a world on the brink of revolution. This classic novel is a must-read for fans of adventure, romance, and political intrigue.I had made up my mind that when my vacation came I would spend it seeking adventures. I have always wished for adventures, but, though I am old enough--I was twenty-five last October--and have always gone half-way to meet them, adventures avoid me. Kinney says it is my fault. He holds that if you want adventures you must go after them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
