"Neither the old man nor Boga ever said more than was needed. And yet they understood each other perfectly." Over the course of a season, Boga and the old man work side by side on the sandbanks of the Paraná Delta, cutting reeds to sell to local basketweavers. But when the old man falls sick and dies, Boga abandons himself entirely to the river and the life of solitary drifting he has long yearned for. Echoes of John Berger sound throughout the evocative prose of this great Argentinian writer. A twentieth-century classic, Southeaster is a central work in Haroldo Conti’s oeuvre.

La presente edición de esta novela de Haroldo Conti, desaparecido en 1976, viene acompañada por un manuscrito anterior a su publicación: Ligados, que no sólo prefigura la génesis de Sudeste, sino de toda la primera etapa narrativa del escritor argentino. Un estudio detallado, bajo la coordinación de Eduardo Romano (Universidad de Buenos Aires), nos presenta un Sudeste apegado a la segunda edición de 1962, acompañada de un estudio minucioso, un contexto cronológico y material visual del río Paraná de la autoría de Aníbal Ford.
