About this Item
Description:
48pp. 12mo. 20th-century calf. Contemporary ink inscription on titlepage, small ink marks in upper-outer corner of pages. Occasional minor foxing on titlepage, light age toning in text. A very good copy. A rare mid-19th-century Valparaiso imprint encouraging Argentineans who had emigrated to Chile to return to their homeland. The work is addressed primarily to the exiles who had departed the country during the reign of dictator Juan Manuel de Rosas, who ruled Argentina from 1829 to 1852. "The tyrant enjoyed his power for a total of twenty-three years, from 1829 to 1852, and his 'sum total of power' for the last seventeen years of that period. Yet 'invulnerable' as Rosas seemed to be while he was dictator, his authority was gradually being weakened. Almost from the very first moment the intellectuals saw through his demagogy. After opposing it without success they fled into exile, where distance, separation, and loss gave them more strength and a better perspective than they could ever have achieved otherwise" - Crow. Martinez reflects at length on reasons why the exiles should return to Argentina, and calls for his fellow emigres to accompany him (here in translation): "Argentinos! The moment has already arrived for all of us to return to our homeland. Accept the counsel of one your companions in misfortune: your country is to be claimed." A curious work, with an epigraph from Lord Byron in English on the titlepage. A rare Chilean imprint, not in Palau or Sabin. OCLC records copies at Bancroft, Harvard, and the National Library of Chile. OCLC 14881281. Crow, THE EPIC OF LATIN AMERICA, p.591. Seller Inventory # WRCAM36908
