Publisher's Synopsis
The legend of the gaucho Martín Fierro is a work in verse that reflects the harsh reality faced by the men sent to the border. His argument is simple and has; above all; the virtue of magnificently representing a human type -the gaucho-; an era and a people. With a diaphanous language; vigorous and creative; its protagonist; the gaucho and payador Martín Fierro sings his fight for freedom in a humane way; against adversity and injustice.
