'Estancias Argentinas' proposes a journey of images and texts through the extraordinary phenomenon of the architecture of estancia homesteads. This book presents twenty magnificent examples of the grand rural homes built mainly between the mid 19th and mid-20th centuries. The estancias, or 'homesteads,' are characteristic features of the Buenos Aires pampa. Some of them are works of art, highlighted by surrounding parks. The work of architects Hernan Barbero Sarzabal and Sergio Castiglione offers us a clear picture of some of the most representative 'homesteads' of the province of Buenos Aires, and inspires us to imagine the life of those estate owners who were, at the time, one of the most dynamic motors of Argentinean progress. Each example includes excellent images by Luis Abregu and documentation from private archives, architectural plans, portraits of the founders, photographs and period paintings, drawings and sketches made by present day artists expressly for this purpose. The text describes the architecture, the rich history of the establishments and the profile of the founders, on various occasions pioneers or renowned politicians. These estancia homesteads are a valuable architectural heritage for Argentina, and they deserve to be known and valued.

From the rocky terrain in the North through the fertile pampa of the central provinces, all the way to the mountainous West and cold, desolate provinces of the South, the estancias of Argentina produced the high-quality meat and grain that gave the country one of the world's most powerful economies at the turn of the century. Built in a diversity of architectural styles, from Spanish farm-house to Edwardian country home, the residences of the estancieros are a fascinating hybrid of European and Argentine cultural traditions.In an illuminating text, historian María Sáenz Quesada explores the cultural and social history of Argentina and provides captivating commentary about the families who built or occupy the estancias. She also examines the distinctive style of these country estates, their interiors, and gardens. Illustrated with exquisite color and vintage photographs, this opulently designed volume captures the rugged, romantic flavor of the good life on the Argentina pampa.

In the early decades of the nineteenth century, Buenos Aires underwent rapid economic growth. Previous studies have focused on the economy as a whole, or on a particular segment of the population; and most have disregarded how resources were intentionally organized to enable growth. This book focuses on the economic organizations that led the growth process--the estancias. Economic growth and increased freedom were not inevitable on the pampas, but rather the consequences of human actions in the search for profit. Why freedom, not privilege, prevailed is the key question underlying this study.

El coronel no tiene quien le escriba fue escrita por Gabriel García Márquez durante su estancia en París, adonde había llegado como corresponsal de prensa y con la secreta intención de estudiar cine, a mediados de los años cincuenta. El cierre del periódico para el que trabajaba le sumió en la pobreza, mientras redactaba en tres versiones distintas esta excepcional novela, que fue rechazada por varios editores antes de su publicación. Tras el barroquismo faulkneriano de La hojarasca, esta segunda novela supone un paso hacia la ascesis, hacia la economía expresiva, y el estilo del escritor se hace más puro y transparente. Se trata también de una historia de injusticia y violencia: un viejo coronel retirado va al puerto todos los viernes a esperar la llegada de la carta oficial que responda a la justa reclamación de sus derechos por los servicios prestados a la patria. Pero la patria permanece muda.

De la Tierra a la Luna fue un verdadero best seller en la época y la sensación literaria de ese momento en Europa. El relato, minucioso y exacto, contaba el viaje de tres hombres desde la Tierra hasta la Luna. Tras una breve estancia allí, vuelven a la Tierra, amerizando en un lugar determinado del océano Pacífico. Tras el término de la Guerra de Secesión, los miembros del Gun-Club, dedicado a la confección de armas de guerra, se encuentran sin trabajo, así que deciden construir el mayor cañón del mundo jamás creado, apuntar a la Luna, destruirla, por supuesto, y conseguir así la popularidad y disfrutar de la gloria de ser los padres del ingenio. Después de pormenorizados estudios matemáticos donde se nos inunda de cifras y datos técnicos, llega al club un arriesgado aventurero que propone cambiar la bala de cañón por un proyectil cilíndrico hueco donde puedan viajar algunos hombres. La idea es aceptada con gran revuelo y los hombres se preparan para el viaje. Y después de maravillosas aventuras regresan sanos y salvos a Tierra. / Written almost a century before the daring flights of the astronauts, Jules Verne's prophetic novel of man's race to the stars is a classic adventure tale enlivened by broad satire and scientific acumen. When the members of the elite Baltimore Gun Club find themselves lacking any urgent assignments at the close of the Civil War, their president, Impey Barbicane, proposes that they build a gun big enough to launch a rocket to the moon.

In 1908 a local rancher and surveyor by the name of N. Howard "Jack" Thorp walked into the cramped offices of the Estancia News in Estancia, New Mexico, and inquired of the printer about publishing a small book of "cowboy songs." For at least nineteen years, Thorp had sought out cowboy ballads and poems from across the West―from New Mexico and Texas to Wyoming and Utah―and had written a few ditties himself. The finished volume, printed for just six cents a copy, included twenty-three songs and was the first book published devoted exclusively to cowboy songs. Thorp is recognized for being the first person to take a serious interest in collecting and preserving the ballads penned by ranchers to calm cattle on the range. This new edition of an oft-reprinted classic features an essay by Western historian and musician Mark L. Gardner and line illustrations by noted Western artist and rancher Ronald Kil. Included with the book is a CD of a recording of a selection of songs and poems taken from both the original 1908 edition and the 1921 expanded second edition. In their renditions, Gardner and Rex Rideout re-create the historic music preserved by Thorp with vintage instruments and authentic styles.

Resultado de una larga estancia de la autora en el estado de Oaxaca donde, de manera particular, los innumerables vestigios materiales y espirituales de las antiguas civilizaciones permiten seguir el desarrollo de los antiguos mexicanos como si se trataran de un individuo único, cuya vejez abarcara varios millares de años. Los dibujos de Leonora Carrington realzan la magia de este libro singular.

Rear cover notes: "'Cerro de los Pinos' is a very personal portion of Argentine Patagonia. It is a great estancia that a pioneer French family built close to San Martin de los Andes, on the magnificent river Chimchuin, well-known to fishermen all over the world. With much love and a remarkably easy style, Miguel de Larminat tells the story of his grandfather's undertaking started and developed with his brothers: from the selection of the site, through the purchase of the land in 1910, the difficulty of travel in those times, the early wooden houses and those that came later, built with stone, the first flock of sheep driven across the river, to the first harvest....Seven Larminat brothers fought for France in the Great War. Don Santiago's impressive War Diary enriches this book, which is illustrated with his picturesque watercolors and interesting period photographs. The development of the estancia, as the years passed, the routine of improvements of rural work in the midst of a wilderness both rough and prodigal, the homemade foods, the national holidays and the family celebrations, the efforts to forest the mountain which were pursued without pause, the building of the chapel and of the first bridge that failed, are stories that mix with unforgettable memories of great and trivial events to form a captivating narrative, with all the authentic flavor of an impressive human endeavor, now almost centenarian."
