En dos hileras, los animales hacían calle a una mesa llena de lana que varios hombres se ocupaban en atar. Los vellones, asentados sobre el plato de una enorme balanza que una correa de cuero crudo suspendía del maderamen del techo, eran arrojados después al fondo del galpón y allí estivados en altas pilas semejantes a la falda de una montaña en deshielo. Las ovejas, brutalmente maneadas de las patas, echadas de costado unas junto a otras, las...

El «Orénoque», de la compañía «MESSAGERIES MARITIMES», acababa de fondear frente a Pauillac con cargamento general de mercaderías humanas procedentes del Río de la Plata y escalas del Brasil. Lotes de pueblo vasco, hacienda cerril atracada por montones, en tropa, al muelle de pasajeros de Buenos Aires, diez o quince años antes, con un atado de trapos de coco azul sobre los hombros y zapatos de herraduras en los pies. Lecheros, horneros y oveje...

De cabeza grande, de facciones chatas, ganchuda la nariz, saliente el labio inferior, en la expresión aviesa de sus ojos chicos y sumidos, una capacidad de buitre se acusaba. Llevaba un traje raído de pana gris, un sombrero redondo de alas anchas, un aro de oro en la oreja, la doblesuela claveteada de sus zapatos marcaba el ritmo de su andar pesado y trabajoso sobre las piedras desiguales de la calle. De vez en cuando, lentamente, paseaba la m...

Ci accorgiamo del tempo solo quando ci annoiamo e non quando ci divertiamo. La nostra esistenza è tanto più felice quanto meno la sentiamo", scriveva Schopenhauer, riflettendo sull'inquietudine di quando si sentono passare le ore, i giorni, gli anni senza una meta, senza una direzione. È quello che prova anche il protagonista di questo romanzo, ambientato in Argentina, nel tardo Ottocento. Andrés è un uomo ricco e fortunato, che vive in una be...

"Sin rumbo" es la tercera de las cuatro novelas que escribió, y en la que alcanza la plena madurez como novelista. La novela es la historia del destino trágic...

Detailed and vivid, following the precepts of the naturalist school founded by the French author, Emile Zola, Cambaceres defines with literar...

This generation theoretically and methodically built up a literature with features of its own, stressing...

Manuel Lainez -a highly influential voice at that time- said: "when a book facilitates its reading f...
