Historia y bibliografía critica de las imprentas rioplatenses, 1830-1852: 1830-1831

Es un clasico de la literatura argentina contemporanea. Sus paginas exploran dos momentos de nuestra historia, a traves de las vidas de Enrique Ossorio, que se suicida a la vispera de la caida de Rosas, y de Marcelo Maggi, que intenta descifrar el enigma de aquella muerte.

"An overview of the history of indigenous peoples in Argentina, based mainly on secondary sources. Colonization, resistance, the 'conquest of the desert,' and the Chaco campaigns receive considerable attention"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

"An excellent compilation of texts by 31 Argentine political commentators and polemecists from the 1846-80 era. Authors include Mitre, Sarmiento, Alberdi, Echeverría, José Hernández, and Vicente F. López. In his preliminary study, Halperín Donghi notes that only Argentina realized a measure of the material and political progess to which the rest of the continent aspired - and this reflected in no small part the farsightedness of its political thinkers"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
