The purpose of Samuel Brejar's life has always been writing poetry and theatre. In Peru and Mexico, Samuel Brejar had the opportunity to publish his first poems (e.g., "Todas las mordazas", 1965, "Hallazgos del comportamiento raro", 1967, "Legajos del archivista", 1969, "Los cantos destruidos", 1970, "Cuentero del duende", 1971, "Palabras matadas", 1972). However, it is France that Samuel Brejar wrote most of his poetic and theatrical works.

Samuel Brejar born Gilberto Yabar-Valdez (Lima, Peru, July 28, 1941 – 2006) was a French poet born in Peru.

Samuel Brejar is the pseudonym of Gilberto Yabar-Valdez. Samuel Brejar was born in Lima, Peru, on July 28, 1941. He was the grandson of Orihuelo-Yabar, a well-known and wealthy landowner in the Andes of southern Peru. His origins from his father side were a mix of Spanish and Italian ancestry. From his mother side, Samuel Brejar was part Quechua (i.e., Native Americans of Peru). Samuel Brejar studied with the Jesuits in Lima. When his father suddenly died in a car accident while he was 16 years old, he had to start working while pursuing his studies in the evening. He then became aware of the harsh reality of the working class in Peru. This period in his life allows us to understand its communist political commitments. In addition, deeply anti-war, he changed his birth certificate in order to avoid military service. He soon suffered the consequences of his political commitments, as he was imprisoned and tortured. On several occasions, he was arrested in the street of Lima and sent straight away into exile in Chile or Argentina.
