Synopsis
The Buenos Aires Reader offers an insider's look at the diverse lived experiences of the people, politics, and culture of Argentina's capital city primarily from the nineteenth century to the present., The Buenos Aires Reader offers an insider's look at the diverse lived experiences of the people, politics, and culture of Argentina's capital city primarily from the nineteenth century to the present. Refuting the tired cliché that Buenos Aires is the "Paris of South America," this book gives a nuanced view of a city that has long been attentive to international trends yet never ceases to celebrate its local culture. The vibrant opinions, reflections, and voices of Buenos Aires come to life through selections that range from songs, poems, letters, and essays to interviews, cartoons, paintings, and historical documents, many of which have been translated into English for the first time. These selections tell the story of the city's culture of protest and celebration, its passion for soccer and sport, its gastronomy and food traditions, its legendary nightlife, and its musical, literary, and artistic cultures. Providing an unparalleled look at Buenos Aires's history, culture, and politics, this volume is an ideal companion for anyone interested in this dynamic, disruptive, and inventive city.

    The book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.
