A classic work of Latin American literature, Domingo Sarmiento's Facundo has become an integral part of the history, politics, and culture of Latin America since its first publication in 1845. Partially translated into English when it was first published, this foundational text appears here for the first time in its entirety. An educator and writer, Sarmiento was President of Argentina from 1868 to 1874. His Facundo is a study of the Argentine character, a prescription for the modernization of Latin America, and a protest against the tyranny of the government of Juan Manuel de Rosas (1835-1852). The book brings nineteenth-century Latin American history to life even as it raises questions still being debated today--questions regarding the "civilized" city versus the "barbaric" countryside, the treatment of indigenous and African populations, and the classically liberal plan of modernization. Facundo's celebrated and frequently anthologized portraits of the caudillo Juan Facundo Quiroga and other colorful characters give readers an exhilarating sense of Argentine culture in the making. Kathleen Ross's translation renders Sarmiento's passionate prose into English with all its richness intact, allowing the English-language reader the full experience of Facundo's intensity and historical reach.… (mere)

Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, proscrito por la tiranía rosista y exiliado por dos veces en Chile, fue periodista brillante, político y polemista literario. "Facundo" es una biografía concebida como historia, historia de las guerras civiles de su patria centradas en la figura de Juan Facundo Quiroga, el más famoso, cruel, violento y despiadado caudillo de las guerras civiles argentinas. El desarrollo de los acontecimientos impulsó a Sarmiento a unir el tema biográfico a la realidad presente, denunciando a su enemigo Rosas.

Civilizacion y barbarie / Domingo F. Sarmiento ; progo de Carlos Alberto Erro
  BibliotecaOlezza | Sep 24, 2019 |
a nineteenth Century novel by a man who was president of the Argentine Republic for a while. The main character is reasonably well drawn, though not very attractive to modern tastes, and the action is pretty good. Very Spanish in its morality and style. The original was printed in 1831. ( )

Written in exile and published originally by installments in 1845 in Chile, "Facundo: Civilización y Barbarie" is a work of great literary and historical significance for Argentina and all of post-colonial Latin America, by Domingo Faustino Sarmiento. The author was a forensic writer and journalist who became the seventh president of Argentina.

Sarmiento describes the isolated lawless feudalistic estates of the Argentine interior in political opposition to the educated progressive trade-based prosperity of Buenos Aires. This is the dichotomy between barbarism and civilization. "Facundo" is a historical figure who rose up from the pampas of the gaucho as a fighter.

The values of the frontier tended to favor those who wielded absolute power. The ignorant but tough gaucho and the caudillos who command their obedience, regarded law as an insufferable interference with their "rights". The progressive Unitarians sought to introduce education and their central government interference with the feudal powers of the countryside were brutally opposed by a succession of dictators.

Facundo himself was eventually assassinated by the caudillo Rosas, on whose behalf he had fought the Unitarians. ( )
