We can hear a country speak and better learn its secrets through the voices of its great writers.... an engaging series---a compelling idea, thoughtfully executed---Isabel Allende

Argentina has produced some of the most well-known writers of the Americas: Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortazar, and Luisa Valenzuela, to name but a few from Buenos Aires. But what lies beyond Argentina's urban center will equally intrigue readers as they travel through one of the most geographically and culturally diverse regions of Latin America. This exciting collection of 18 stories will take readers on a literary journey that climbs the Andes Mountains, navigates the great River Plate, traverses the expansive plains of the Pampas, and explores the ever-changing landscape of the Patagonia as it extends south to Tierra del Fuego. Seasoned travelers will recognize their favorite haunts and those yet unfamiliar with the region will long to make the journey.

Moving beyond the cultural icons that have become synonymous with Argentina (such as gauchos, tango, and mate), the stories gathered here reflect the country's rich cultural and literary traditions as they assemble a cast of characters created by some of the finest writers of the last hundred years. Argentina challenges the imagination, tantalizes the senses, and tugs at readers' heartstrings---leaving them wanting more.
