Clásico argentino, "Don Segundo Sombra" (1926) pervive como el mejor ejemplo de literatura gauchesca en prosa. He aquí un vigoroso personaje literario, retrato ideal y casi mítico del gaucho, con su concepto rabioso de libertad, con su individualismo anárquico a lo largo de andaduras y episodios continuos a través de un paisaje abierto. Sara Parkinson, especialista en la obra de Ricardo Güiraldes, ofrece en este volumen la edición crítica de esta novela de la pampa por antonomasia.

Ricardo Güiraldes nació en una acaudalada familia en la Argentina que se fue a Francia cuando él cumplió un año. Pasó los primeros cuatros años de su vida en Europa y aprendió a hablar francés y alemán. Más tarde vivió en Argentina, en una casa en la ciudad y en la estancia La Porteña, en San Antonio de Areco. Su infancia en el campo lo acercó el ambiente gauchesco. Estudió arquitectura y derecho pero no terminó su formación universitaria. Tuvo entonces una vida de dandy en Europa hasta que se casó con Adelina del Carril en 1913. Fue amigo de Jorge Luis Borges con quien fundó las revistas Martín Fierro y Proa.
