Los Rios Profundos de Argüedas

Peru

After the Peruvian independency in 1821 and until approximately 1970, the class dominate were mainly Spanish descendant Landlords, corrupted politicians and militar dictators."Jose-Maria Argüedas" a Landlord's child raised by his father's peasants ( indians) wrote the story of these peasants. An Indian soul trapped in a Spaniard body he would write later. You want understand modern Peruvian Society? You must read Arguedas novels
Most of these authors are still. They see and interpret our modern times. They write about our streets, about our mountains or the jungles. Some of them very well known in the world and others very popular at home, but not that well know outside
One Hundred Years of Solitude
cover 100 años de Soledad

Colombia

This is my all time favourite Latin-American Book. A Nobel price winner in the 80's, this a metaphor for the history of Latin-American republics. "Gabriel Garcia Marquez" is from Colombian, but when a Guatemalan, a Bolivian or a Brazilian reads this book, he's amazed to find a tale about the history of his own country. You read once and you are amazed, you read twice and you may understand it better, you read it three time and you will remain amazed. Each time read you get more of it.
Interpretations of our culture, history books, archaeology, travel guides. We will only recommend you stuff we know and gives you a real vision of what we are.
Art and Revolution in Latin America,...
cover 		This a good beautiful book. it covers three main revolutions; Mexico, Cuba and Nicaragua. You may not agree with all his points of view. But he is good, and honestly this a serious study of theme so few times taken seriously in our own countries. Any way I liked it.
