The Chieftainess of Arauca
Abstract
If Facundo and La vorágine have been the works that, traditionally, inaugurate the topic of civilization and barbarism in Latin American narrative, this article goes a little further back, to the publication, in 1920, of El último de los Solar, where Rómulo Gallegos has, in agraz, the development of the subject. It also deals with the vicissitudes that surrounded the appearance of Doña Bárbara and the way in which her importance was assessed with the passage of time.Downloads
