The British travel writer John Foster Fraser sets out to explain the booming republic of the River Plate to readers who knew little of it. He describes Buenos Aires and its suburbs, the British-built railways that crossed the pampas to Mendoza and the Andes, settlement on the land, Argentina’s part in feeding the world, its constitution and its national character.
An evocative portrait of Argentina at the height of its pre-war prosperity, for travellers and historians alike. Download the free EPUB.
