The stories in The Insufferable Gaucho — unpredictable and daring, highly controlled yet somehow haywire — might concern a stalwart rat police detective investigating terrible rodent crimes, or an elusive plagiarist, or an elderly Argentine lawyer giving up city life for an improbable return to the familye state on the Pampas, now gone to wrack and ruin. These five astonishing stories, along with two compelling essays, show Bolano as a magician, pulling bloodthirsty rabbits out of his hat.

Download or read book The Gaucho Juan Moreira written by Eduardo Gutierrez and published by Hackett Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-03 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Argentinian writer Eduardo Gutiérrez (1851-1889) fashioned his seminal gauchesque novel from the prison records of the real Juan Moreira, a noble outlaw whose life and name became legendary in the Río de la Plata during the late 19th century. John Chasteen's fast-moving, streamlined translation--the first ever into English--captures all of the sweeping romance and knife-wielding excitement of the original. William Acree's introduction and notes situate Juan Moreira in its literary and historical contexts. Numerous illustrations, a map of Moreira’s travels, a glossary of terms, and a select bibliography are all included.

Download or read book The Gaucho Genre written by Josefina Ludmer and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2002-07-08 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed when first published in Spanish in 1988 as one of the best contemporary examples of Latin American critical thought, Josefina Ludmer’s El género gauchesco describes the emergence of gaucho poetry—which uses the voice of the cowboy of the Argentine pampas for political purposes—as an urgent encounter of popular and elite tradition, of subaltern and hegemonic discourses. Molly Weigel’s translation captures the original's daringly innovative literary flavor, making available for the first time in English a book that opened a new arena in Latin American cultural history. By examining the formation of a genre whose origins predated the consolidation of Argentina as a nation-state but that gained significance only after the country's independence, Ludmer elucidates the relationship of literature to the state, as well as the complex positionings of gender within the struggle for independence. She develops a sociological investigation of “outsider” culture through close textual analyses of works by Hidalgo, Ascasubi, Del Campo, Hernandez, Sarmiento, and Borges. This inquiry culminates in the assertion that language, marked as it is by the collisions of high and low culture, constitutes the central issue of Latin American modernization and modernism. Extensive annotation renders this edition of Ludmer's seminal study easily accessible for a North American audience. The Gaucho Genre’s far-reaching implications will make it valuable reading for a varied audience. While teachers and students of Latin American literature and criticism will find it an important resource, it will also interest those concerned with the processes of nation-building or in the complex intersections of dominant and marginal voices.

Download or read book The Life and Knife of the Argentine Gaucho written by Fernan Vargas and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-08-28 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE LIFE AND KNIFE OF THE ARGENTINE GAUCHO contains a selection of excerpts from textbooks and journals published in the 19th and early 2oth centuries. These accounts represent the candid observations of British and American researchers, journalists, and travelers to South America, and their first hand impressions of the Gauchos of Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil. The accounts paint a vivid picture of these somber and solitary riders who roamed the Pampas, and of the large knife-the facon-that was every Gaucho's faithful companion. The Gaucho was an exotic cowboy of mythical proportions, one who spoke a foreign language but who shared the cowboy's love of self-reliance, rugged independence, and autonomous freedom. Although today the Argentine Gaucho has followed the American cowboy into the setting sun, we still have a record of their deeds-whether real or fanciful-to fuel the desire for independence and freedom in future generations of rugged individualists.
