by Eduardo Gutierrez
Edited by William G. Acree
Part of the Hackett Classics series
Paperback / softback
Description
Argentinian writer Eduardo Gutierrez (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 Rio 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.
