Sarmiento. The book was originally published in Spanish in 1845, and this English translation was published in 1868. Sarmiento's work is a critical analysis of the political and social conditions of Argentina during a time when the country was ruled by military dictators known as \"\"the tyrants\"\". He describes the country's struggles with political instability, lawlessness, and violence, and the impact these issues had on the development of Argentine society. The book is divided into two sections, \"\"Civilization\"\" and \"\"Barbarism\"\". In the first section, Sarmiento discusses the progress that Argentina had made towards modernization and Europeanization, including the development of cities, education, and industry. In the second section, he examines the negative aspects of Argentine society, including the influence of rural traditions and the persistence of violence and lawlessness. Throughout the book, Sarmiento argues that Argentina must embrace modernization and Europeanization in order to achieve stability and prosperity. He also advocates for the importance of education and the need to eradicate illiteracy in order to create a more enlightened society. Overall, Life In The Argentine Republic In The Days Of The Tyrants: Or Civilization And Barbarism is an important historical document that provides insight into the political and social conditions of Argentina during a critical period in its history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
