5.0 out of 5 stars
A masterpiece in many different languages,
This review is from: The Gaucho Martin Fierro (UNESCO Collection of Representative Works: Latin American) (Paperback)
Martin Fierro is a work of art. While describing in poetry the life of Martin Fierro (a Gaucho in the Pampas in the mid to late 1800's), this poem was also a political complaint and a message of unification against the modern world for the gauchos. Herandez's greatest achievement was to unite, in one poem, a message for all the social and cultural classes. Hernandez was a self made man, ruled by simple principles based on honesty and dignity. These principles are well reflected in his book. When Martin Fierro meets his sons, and counsels them, it is Hernandez speaking to all of us.

EXCELLENT BOOK,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Gaucho Martin Fierro (UNESCO Collection of Representative Works: Latin American) (Paperback)
This is a great book which describes the situation of the gauchos in ARGENTINA (of course, long ago).
I recomend the readers to check the wise tips given by "el viejo vizcacha", in one of the chapters. (They are great (and real)).
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: The Gaucho Martin Fierro (UNESCO Collection of Representative Works: Latin American) (Paperback)
the complete, unabridged, bilingual edition (also published by State University of New York Press, ISBN-13: 9780791458600), available here on amazon : Martin Fierro... while it is, admittedly, more expensive, it contains far more material / text / illustrations -- more than 400 pages longer! you can read my more detailed review of that edition on that item page.
