Overview
El poema nacional (argentino) por excelencia, la obra cumbre del género gauchesco.
Introducción del escritor Carlos Gamerro.
Escritos en 1872 y 1879, respectivamente, los dos volúmenes que componen el poema épico Martín Fierro son la culminación del género gauchesco y el máximo exponente de la literatura argentina a nivel mundial. A través de la narración de las peripecias del héroe –el gaucho Fierro, uno de los personajes más vitales, brutales y contradictorios de las letras nacionales—, José Hernández pone en evidencia la cruda realidad a la que se veían enfrentados los hombres del siglo XIX enviados a la frontera a luchar contra los indios, y denuncia los abusos de poder por parte de un Estado corrupto y arbitrario.
El poema viene precedido por una magnífica introducción del escritor Carlos Gamerro, quien advierte que el mundo de Martín Fierro se ha convertido prácticamente en el nuestro y que constituye un punto de inflexión crucial en la literatura argentina.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The epic poem, Martín Fierro, is a masterpiece of Spanish-language literature that continues to define and inform Argentine culture today.
Originally published in two parts, the poem has been praised as a defining work of Argentine literature for its depiction of national identity in relation to the gaucho culture, which was used to consolidate the historical and political image of the country against European influence.
This is a poem of protest drawn from the life of the gaucho, who was forced to yield his freedom and individuality to the social and material changes that invaded his beloved pampas--a protest which arose from years of abuse and neglect suffered from landowners, militarists, and the Argentine political establishment.
The poem includes a magnificent introduction by writer Carlos Gamerro, who warns that Martín Fierro's world has practically become our world today and that it constitutes a crucial turning point in Argentine literature.
