Book Description
..."En El gaucho Martin Fierro, un gaucho trabajador de las pampas bonaerenses, es reclutado forzosamente para servir en un fortín e integrar las milicias que luchan defendiendo la frontera argentina contra los indígenas, Su vida de pobreza es algo muy frecuente en la literatura de la época romantizada. Al volver, su rancho se encuentra abandonado y su mujer y sus hijos se han perdido. Después, desesperado, Martín Fierro mata a un hombre negro en un duelo, lo que lo lleva a convertirse en gaucho matrero fugitivo perseguido por la policía. Enfrentándose en batalla contra ellos, consigue un compañero, el sargento Cruz, que inspirado por la valentía de Fierro, se une a él en medio de un combate. Y finalmente huyendo, ambos se ponen en camino al desierto para vivir entre los indios, esperando encontrar allí una vida mejor.Así, concluyendo que es mejor vivir con los salvajes que lo que la 'civilización' les deparaba, termina la primera parte publicada en 1872 con el título El gaucho Martín Fierro.Al describir la figura del matrero desertor, José Hernández se propuso denunciar los abusos de la sociedad de su época, pero su Martín Fierro trascendió esa meta inicial para devenir un hito fundamental e imperecedero de las letras argentinas"...

Book Description
This is a poem of protest drawn from the life of the gaucho, who was forced to yield his freedom and individuality to the social and material changes that invaded his beloved pampas--a protest which arose from years of abuse and neglect suffered from landowners, militarists, and the Argentine political establishment. This poem, composed and first published more than a century ago, could have been written today by spokesmen for other oppressed groups in other parts of the world. For this reason, perhaps, the poem has such universal appeal that it has been translated into nineteen languages, making it available to more than half of the world's people. Hernandez's poem was an attempt to alert the government, and particularly the city dwellers, to the problems faced by the gaucho minority in adjusting to the new, unfamiliar culture imposed on them by the Central Government soon after the fall of the dictator Juan Manuel de Rosas in 1852, under the slogan "Politics of Progress." Moreover, the poem supplied a historical link to the gauchos' contribution to the national development of Argentina, for the gaucho had performed a major role in the country's independence from Spain. They had also fought in the civil wars of Argentina and had cleared the pampas of marauding Indian bands that plagued the pastoral development of the region. According to Hernandes they had been by turns abused, neglected, and finally dispersed, ultimately losing their identity as a social group. Those interested in the Martín Fierro as literature, as social protest, as anthropology, or as an example of the annihilation of a minority group--and its very identity--have joined in making it the most widely read, analyzed, and discussed literary work produced in Argentina. Now, after several hundred editions in Spanish and other languages, Martín Fierro is recognized as a masterpiece of world literature. The aim of this English version has been to achieve a line-by-line rendition faithful to the original in substance and tone, but without attempting to recreate Hernandez's meter or rhyme. The translators present it here as a catalyst for enjoyment, provocation, and insight.

Book Description
Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize 2020 1872. The pampas of Argentina. China is a young woman eking out an existence in a remote gaucho encampment. After her no-good husband is conscripted into the army, China bolts for freedom, setting off on a wagon journey through the pampas in the company of her new-found friend Liz, a settler from Scotland. While Liz provides China with a sentimental education and schools her in the nefarious ways of the British Empire, their eyes are opened to the wonders of Argentina’s richly diverse flora and fauna, cultures and languages, as well as to the ruthless violence involved in nation-building. This subversive retelling of Argentina’s foundational gaucho epic Martín Fierro is a celebration of the colour and movement of the living world, the open road, love and sex, and the dream of lasting freedom. With humour and sophistication, Gabriela Cabezón Cámara has created a joyful, hallucinatory novel that is also an incisive critique of national myths.
