Couverture souple. Condition: Bon. 1ère Édition. 224 pages, traduction de l'anglais par Henri Daussy. Ouvrage complet et solide, léger manque au pied du dos. Quatrième de couverture : "Seul sur son cheval, dans l'étendue des Pampas, le gaucho est le type même de l'homme libre, le symbole vivant de "l'aventure" dans le plein sens du mot. De sa vigilance dépend le sort de milliers de têtes de bétail. A lui de les protéger contre la sécheresse qui tarit mares et abreuvoirs, contre l'incendie qui ravage les pacages, contre les voleurs de bestiaux et les condors. A l'âge de 18 ans, Hugo Backhouse quitte son Angleterre natale et décide de se faire gaucho. Il apprend à monter, à dresser le cheval sauvage et à manier le lasso. Mais quelle initiation ! Peu à peu, il conquiert ses grades, bravant chaque jour la mort, échappant aux cornes des taureaux et aux sabots des chevaux. Trois instruments tiennent une place importante dans sa vie : sa guitare, son lasso et son couteau. Il ne s'en sépare jamais. Le voici enfin un véritable gaucho, un de ces hommes courageux qui ne cherchent ni ne provoquent l'aventure mais qui la vivent.". Livre.

Com o presente volume, [o autor] retorna aos estudos históricos, embora desta vez com o precioso auxílio da interpretação sociológica, para oferecer-nos uma nova contribuição ao conhecimento do nosso passado.
