[Billy Quinn · Rating 4 out of 5]

A must read for anyone traveling Argentina. It paints a great picture of the development of the country in the late 19th century.

"Sebastian's obsession was the land, an obsession which was to remain with him for the rest of his life."

"Respecting and admiring their values, Sebastian shared with the gauchos a love of freedom and a comtempt for mediocrity and convention.
It was that contempt for convention that would ultimately destroy all that he cherished and held dear."

the way this book made me bawl my eyes out should be illegal

Los ciclos inquebrantables de la tragedia y la vida que conspira en contra del destino que uno mismo nunca puede terminar de forjar. Siempre interviene otra mano, esa fuerza mayor que te da y te quita, a elección impensable.

Es crudo y hermoso. No lo quería terminar más.

It is Wuthering Heights but written by Bettelheim and set in BA

it starts heavy but it gets better eventually. a heavy lecture at the beginning but couldn’t even get it off my hands at the end! it’s crushing
