Ezeiza by Horacio Verbitsky ES
Country: South America / 
Argentina
Argentina
Description:
La masacre de Ezeiza del 20 de junio de 1973 cierra un ciclo de la historia Argentina y prefigura los años por venir. Contiene en germen el gobierno de Isabel y López Rega, la AAA, el genocidio del golpe de 1976, el eje militar sindical. El Comando de Organización y la CNU que Rucci puso sobre el palco dieron sus hombres a los militares para el control de campos de concentración y la intervención en Centroamérica. Al peronista reaccionario Osinde corresponde el reaccionario peronista Camps. Por eso su estudio nos habla tanto del pasado como del present... continue

Facundo : Civilization and Barbarism by Domingo Faustino Sarmiento EN
Country: South America / Argentina
Argentina
Description:
An educator and writer, Sarmiento was President of Argentina from 1868 to 1874. His Facundo is a study of the Argentine character, a prescription for the modernization of Latin America, and a protest against the tyranny of the government of Juan Manuel de Rosas (1835-1852). The book brings nineteenth-century Latin American history to life even as it raises questions still being debated today--questions regarding the "civilized" city versus the "barbaric" countryside, the treatment of indigenous and African populations, and the classically liberal plan of modernization.

Flores robadas en los jardines de Quilmes by Jorge Asís ES
Country: South America / Argentina
Argentina
Description:
Fuerza, vitalidad, compromiso, arraigo, desenfado, son algunos de los términos que con mayor frecuencia se han utilizado para caracterizar la narrativa de Jorge Asis y que, sin duda, esta nueva novela volverá a poner sobre el tapete: aunque seguramente otros surgirán para sumarse a la nomina, dada la lavadura polémica de su tema y la exasperada ternura de muchas de sus escenas.

Heartbreak Tango by Manuel Puig EN
Country: South America / Argentina
Argentina
Description:
Awash in small-town gossip, petty jealousy, and intrigues, Manuel Puig's Heartbreak Tango is a comedic assault on the fault lines between the disappointments of the everyday world, and the impossible promises of commercials, pop songs, and movies. This melancholy and hilarious tango concerns the many women in orbit around Juan Carlos Etchepare, an impossibly beautiful Lothario wasting away ever-so-slowly from consumption, while those who loved and were spurned by him move on into workaday lives and unhappy marriages.
