Synopsis
Excerpt from Francia: A Tale of the Revolution of Paraguay, From Authentic Sources In the Calle Mayor of Cordova del Tucuman stands the ancient and hoary buildings of the University founded by the Jesuits. It was eleven o'clock in the forenoon, and the morning lectures seemed to be just concluded, when the students in their scholastic antiquated costume, with short black cloaks, stood in respectful silence as the Professors passed one after the other before them. It was then their youthful spirits burst forth in unrestricted glee; the dry classics were thrust into the breast pockets, and numerous parties were rapidly formed for rides and excursions in the neighbouring Cordilleras.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century South America, this book delves into the tumultuous lives of two young men, Rodrigo and Jago, as they navigate the complexities of friendship, societal expectations, and the search for identity. Rodrigo, a spirited law student in Cordova, grapples with the revelation of his illegitimacy and the enigma surrounding his father's identity. Jago, his enigmatic and often manipulative confidante, guides him towards Paraguay, a nation under the iron fist of the dictator Dr. Francia. The author masterfully contrasts the political landscapes of Argentina and Paraguay, exploring themes of freedom, despotism, and the consequences of unchecked power. The narrative unfolds amidst a period of revolution and social upheaval, as newly independent nations struggle to establish their own identities. Paraguay, under Francia's rule, emerges as a nation isolated from the world, its citizens subject to strict control and surveillance. Through Rodrigo and Jago's intertwined journeys, the book raises profound questions about personal responsibility, loyalty, and the allure of power. The reader is invited to contemplate the complexities of human nature and the enduring struggle for individual autonomy in the face of political oppression. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling exploration of identity and belonging, highlighting the profound impact of historical forces on individual lives and the choices we make in shaping our destinies.
