Description
SIGNED BY SAMUEL TARNOPOLSKY AND IGNACIO WINIZKY WITH DEDICATION dated 25.7.1960. Tarnopolosky was an eminent Argentinean physician, historian, and novelist, a professor of rheumatology, the author of numerous medical textbooks and founder of the Argentine Society for the Study of Rheumatology, and was listed by the World Health Organization as one of the world`s best rheumatologists. RARE illustrated edition of a cornerstone of Latin American literature written in 1845 by the eminent writer and journalist who became the seventh president of Argentina Domingo Faustino Sarmiento (1811-1888), in which he contrasts civilization and barbarism as seen in early 19th-century Argentina. This work of creative non-fiction that helped to define the parameters for thinking about the region`s development, modernization, power, and culture, as well as a sound critique of Juan Manuel de Rosas, is profusely illustrated by Alberto Nicasio`s wonderful woodcuts. 285x210mm.
