Don Segundo Sombra (Coleccion Archivos)

"New translation of 1926 Argentine classic, accompanied by extensive critical materials. Seven essays by scholars including Gwen Kirkpatrick and Beatriz Sarlo treat historical, literary, and biographical topics. Steiner discusses novel's setting, writing, and reception, but does not reflect on translation process itself nor on differences between this work and 1935 version by Harriet De OnÂis (see HLAS 1:2119). Glossary and bibliography. Valuable teaching tool"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.http://www.loc.gov/hlas/
