Facundo: Or, Civilization and Barbarism
by Ilan Stavans and Domingo Faustino Sarmiento and Mary Peabody Mann
Ostensibly a biography of the gaucho barbarian Juan Facundo Quiroga, Facundo is also a complex, passionate work of history, sociology, and political commentary, and Latin America's most important essay of the nineteenth century.
