Pot Pourri

Eugenio Cambaceres was the first to introduce the naturalist manner of mile Zola to Argentinean Literature in the late nineteenth century. The work of Cambaceres is crucial for an understanding of the period of consolidation of Argentina, the formation of national identity, and especially for the role of the intellectual in that transition. This generation theoretically and methodically built up a literature with features of its own, stressing the cultural primacy of Buenos Aires par excellence, to enhance the evolution a cosmopolitan metropolis.
