2	''Trafalgar'' is a ScienceFiction series of short stories written by the argentinian author Creator/AngelicaGorodischer. This stories are about a Rosarian IntrepidMerchant named [[AerithAndBob Trafalgar Medrano]] that travel with ''"el cacharro"'' ("the rattletrap"... sort of) all along the galaxy, selling stuff for profit and living several adventures. Then, he comes back to Rosario and tells the stories to his friends, specially to [[AuthorAvatar the narrator]].

4	!!This work provides of this tropes
5	* AerithAndBob: '''Trafalgar''' Medrano, a ''very'' unusual name for an Argentinian. Most of the names are common spanish names, but the main character, Trafalgar Medrano, is named after a battle, and his daughter too.
6	* AfterTheEnd: In "The Sense of the Circle" we see a dying world, populated by zombie-like people that in the past were a widespread galactic society.
7	* AlphaBitch: Almost all the commanding caste of The Thousand of Sekundea.
8	* AuthorAvatar: Trafalgar tells many of his adventures to an avatar of Creator/AngelicaGorodischer.
9	* CoolOldLady: Arguably Josefina, as the characters see her as one, but she is also an (arguably) RacistGrandma (and Angélica knows it).
10	* CrapsackWorld: Several, beginning with Sekundea, but also Gonzwaledworkamenjkaleidos.
11	* TheDandy: Trafalgar Medrano
12	* EvilOldFolks: Up to eleven in Gonzwaledworkamenjkaleidos. Not only are they old, but also they are angry and ''very'' conservative [[TheUndead undead people]], that hate progress as they want the world being just like when they died
13	* GoodIsBoring: Trafalgar thinks this way about several worlds, mostly Aleicarga.
14	* IntrepidMerchant: Trafalgar
15	* LaResistance: The Bad Kids, against a zombie-like civilization
16	* {{Revenant}}: an ''entire planet'' of them. The dead people in Gonzwaledworkamenjkaleidos automatically turns in this after death.
17	* {{Robosexual}}: Partly played straight, partly averted, in first story Trafalgar manages to have sex with one of the government maidens in a Crapsack World when she was in his "sex dream machine", and mistakes him with a Mandrake illusion.
18	* ShinyLookingSpaceships: Averted. "El cacharro" is never fully described, but we can see it as a StandardHumanSpaceship.
19	* TheStoryteller: Several, but specially Trafalgar, as he is a natural storyteller.
20	* TheUndead: The death is abolished in Gonzwaledworkamenjkaleidos; every dead people turns in a conservative jerk that dwarfs bullies the living
21	* {{Utopia}}: Arguably, Edessbuss. Only that Trafalgar doesn't fit in an Utopia.
