Amalia - Softcover
Amalia is one of the most popular Latin American novels and, until recently, was required reading in Argentina's schools. It was written to protest the dictatorship of Juan Manuel de Rosas and to provide a picture of the political events during his regime, but the book's popularity stemmed
from the love story that fuels the plot. Originally published in 1851 in serial form, Marmol's novel recounts the story of Eduardo and Amalia, who fall in love while he is hiding in her home. Amalia and her cousin Daniel protect him from Rosist persecution, but before the couple and the cousin can
escape to safety, they are discovered by the death squad and the young men die.
Similar in style to the romantic novels of Walter Scott, Amalia provides a detailed picture of life under a dictatorship combined with lively dialogue, drama, and a tragic love story.

Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. 11x18 cm, Letras Hispánicas 460. 840p., Rústica hilo, Sprache: Spanisch, NUEVO / NEU / NEW. José Pedro Crisólogo Mármol, escritor argentino enfrentado al gobierno del dictador Juan Manuel de Rosas, desarrolló una incansable actividad periodística como cronista de actualidad y de artículos doctrinarios. Sus contemporáneos vieron en él la imagen paradigmática del poeta enfrentado a la tiranía. La crítica ha hecho de "Amalia" el ejemplo por excelencia de la novela política. La proximidad de los hechos relatados no invalida, sin embargo, la dimensión histórica de la novela, de tal manera que constituye la mejor recreación literaria de la época de Rosas, del análisis de los sucesos ocurridos en 1840 a la luz del proceso seguido desde la independencia, facilitando la explicación de los fenómenos sociales y políticos posteriores , con mención expresa de "lo más dramático y lúgubre de la dictadura", que sobrevendría en 1842. Como las novelas históricas del romanticismo pretende ofrecer lecciones moralizadoras a los lectores del momento y una voluntad de construir un imaginario nacional. (Comentario contraportada).
