Martín FierroOn the coverLa vuelta del malón, Ángel Della Valle, 1892
Martín Fierro
A free-living gaucho is torn from his home and family, conscripted to the frontier, and driven to the life of an outlaw on the Argentine plains, where he sings his own defiant story. The national poem of Argentina, a ballad of injustice and wounded pride.
No companion available yet.
The thundering, plainspoken voice of the South American frontier, a poem of freedom, loss, and resistance that an entire nation knows by heart. Short, fierce, and unforgettable.
Setting19th-century Argentine pampas
The vanishing world of the nineteenth-century pampas, as the open range and its independent gauchos were fenced, conscripted, and swept aside by a modernizing state.
