«Martín Fierro» is the gaucho poem by José Hernández, published by DUXELM in paperback, in a bilingual Catalan-Spanish edition (260 pages).
The poem vindicates the gaucho through the misfortunes of Martín Fierro, forcibly recruited, and criticises Sarmiento's centralist policy and the repression against the provinces and indigenous peoples. The poem's success made Fierro an Argentine national hero and led to a second part, «La vuelta de Martín Fierro».
The work belongs to the «Martín Fierro» series (1-2). It was originally published in 1872; this bilingual Creole-Catalan edition includes the translation by Enric Martí i Muntaner and prints by Lluís Macaya.
Suitable for Catalan-speaking readers and for students who want to read a classic of Argentine literature in a bilingual edition.
José Hernández was an Argentine journalist, poet, and politician best known as the author of the epic poem Martín Fierro. In his tribute, his birthday is celebrated in Argentina as a national holiday, called Tradition Day.
