Memoria sobre la pampa y los gauchos

Memoria sobre la pampa y los gauchos / Memoir of the Pampas and Gauchos

Non-fiction , 1970

Anaya & Mario Muchnik

In this work, the writer explains that his most distant memory of the words ‘pampa’ and ‘gaucho’ is linked with perplexities that come in the first phase of life, and that, for reasons we later forget, we never tell anyone, and thus they remain forever unclear. ‘At that time, I would’ve preferred the Republic to house, like India, jungles and tigers, but as long as we had pampa and gauchos, I wouldn’t deny them my patriotic reverence.’
