Benito Lynch
Benito Lynch (25 July 1885 - 23 December 1951) was an Argentine novelist and short story writer. Biography Lynch was born in Buenos Aires. He came from a family of Irish origin who settled in the Río de la Plata region since the 18th century. They were descendants of Patrick Lynch from Galway. He spent his childhood and adolescence on the large country estate of his grandfather Ventura Lynch. After the estate was sold, the family settled in La Plata, the newly built capital of the Buenos Aires Province. Lynch was a lifelong recluse à la Emily Dickinson, living all his life with two unmarried sisters in a large old house in La Plata.

He was also a sports fan. He played professional soccer in 1901. His club, Club de ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gaucho Literature
Gaucho literature, also known as gauchesco ("gauchoesque") genre was a literary movement purporting to use the language of the gauchos, comparable to the American cowboy, and reflecting their mentality. Although earlier works have been identified as gauchoesque, the movement particularly thrived from the 1870s to 1920s in Argentina, Uruguay and southern Brazil after which the movement petered out, although some works continued to be written. Gauchoesque works continue to be read and studied as a significant part of Argentine literary history.Henderson, Helene, and Jay P. Pederson, editors, ''Twentieth-Century Literary Movements Dictionary'', Detroit: Omnigraphics Inc., 2000 The movement arose as writers in those countries developed their understanding of their national identities. Three great poets in this trend were, José Hernández, Estanislao del Campo and Hilario Ascasubi. The influence of folk music and a countrified language has always, to some extent, been felt in pop ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
