Leopoldo Marechal was an Argentine poet, playwright, novelist, and essayist, renowned for his novel Adán Buenosayres, considered a cornerstone of Argentine literature. His early literary output favored poetry, but he later distinguished himself in prose and drama. The novel Adán Buenosayres, despite its eventual acclaim, was largely overlooked upon its initial publication, a reception potentially influenced by the author's political leanings. Marechal's work is noted for its profound philosophical depth and formal elegance.
