{"product_id":"facundo-or-civilization-and-barbarism","title":"Facundo: Or, Civilization and Barbarism","description":"Written in political exile by one of Argentina's greatest statesmen and intellectuals and long known to English-speaking readers as Life in the Argentine Republic in the Days of the Tyrants, Facundo (1845) is ostensibly a biography of the gaucho \"barbarian\" Juan Facundo Quiroga. Combining history, sociology, and political commentary, Sarmiento explores the impact of Argentine geography on the life of the gaucho; chronicles the often bloody political and military adventures of Facundo; examines the reign of the tyrannical ruler Juan Manuel de Rosas; and ponders the future of Argentina. This edition includes an informative introduction and a chronology of Sarmiento's life and times. It also restores the original author's note that was dropped for the 1868 English-language edition - and that is crucial to our understanding of Sarmiento and his views.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135141789748,"sku":"9780140436778","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/8638\/5972\/files\/imageloader_a0335227-5503-47ee-b0da-27548e0e88fe.jpg?v=1759069408","url":"https:\/\/worldcaribbeanbooks.com\/products\/facundo-or-civilization-and-barbarism","provider":"World Caribbean Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
