Héroes y antihéroes en la literatura

California became a territory in the United States when the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed in 1848. That treaty ended the Mexican War. Several days before its signing, gold was discovered at Sutter’s Mill in what is now Sacramento. The non-Native population of the territory was less than one thousand in 1848, but the gold rush increased that number to one hundred thousand by the end of 1849. The gold rush not only made many people wealthy, it brought ecologic devastation while speeding up California’s statehood. This book richly explores this interesting history.

El libro de Claudio Campagna está escrito a dos aguas. Es, por una parte, el estudio de un científico sin ser un libro de ciencia. Por otro lado, es una obra en la cual la información no se presenta de un modo independiente de la experiencia, del relato de los vagabundos en las playas, las emociones del autor. Semejante a los relatos de los antiguos naturalistas, Sobre la foca elefante. Historias naturales de la Patagonia es disfrutable tanto para científicos como lectores curiosos.
