Leopoldo Marechal: El Espacio de los SignosBy Hector M. Cavallari
In Spanish. 1981 Universidad Veracruzana (Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico), 6 1/8 x 8 5/8 inches tall paperbound, 164, [3] pp. Slight soiling, rubbing and edgewear to covers, with creasing to the fore edge of the front cover and blank front free-endpaper. Otherwise, a very good copy - clean, bright and unmarked - of this uncommon title.
In this volume, Hector Cavallari studies the work of Leopoldo Marechal (1900-1970), one of the most important Argentine writers of the twentieth century. Cavallari emphasizes the magnitude of Marechal's body of work, which encompasses all genres, and the profusion of sources from which he drank to structure his works.
Marechal was not a widely recognized figure in Argentine literature until the 1965 reprint of Adam Buenosayres, which ignited a resurgence of interest in his work. This seminal novel has been translated into French by Patrice Toulat (Paris Grasset, Unesco 1995), into Italian by Nicola Jacchia (Vallecchi, Firenze 2010), and into English by Norman Cheadle and Sheila Ethier (McGill-Queen's University Press 2014).
