Beschreibung:
These five adventure stories, evocative of Argentina's colorful history, are written in the first person and set during leap years-a perfect metaphor for their shared uniqueness. With humor and pathos, the author conveys how the shadow of the Holocaust, the feminist movement, the ambivalent legacies of Evita, and neocolonialism touched her youth in her native country. Each tale is a journey of discovery that takes the reader into the heart of Argentina. The stories encapsulate a social criticism of endemic racism and Eurocentrism, idolatry towards political or religious figures, the compromises between the various power holders, and misogynistic justice, among others. But they also described the colorful life of communities inhabited by gauchos, mestizos, and Italian immigrants.
