Ricardo Güiraldes Book order (chronological)
Ricardo Güiraldes was an Argentine novelist and poet whose work draws from his childhood and youth split between rural life and the city. This experience provided him with a deep understanding of the gaucho way of life, which he later incorporated into his literary creations. Notably, a central character in his most celebrated works was inspired by a real-life gaucho he encountered in his formative years. His writing thus offers an authentic portrayal of the Argentine landscape and its people.
