Argentina's history is often portrayed as a series of brilliant successes and crushing defeats. But what really lay behind it? How does a nation that has survived slavery, dictatorship, military coups, and economic crises continue to smile, dance in the streets of Buenos Aires, and believe in its football "gods"? Eminent historian Ezequiel Adamowski presents a comprehensive study of the Argentine journey from the moment the Spanish conquistadors set foot on the lands of South America in search of El Dorado. This is a story of eternal confrontation: between elites and workers, the Parisian luxury of Buenos Aires and the harsh spirit of the provinces, the fates of proud gauchos and the descendants of Spanish settlers. This is the story of how, from the clash of cultures and colonial oppression, Argentina's unique national character was born.
