Eine Geschichte [German]

By Leila Guerriero

An Argentinian epic about dance

"This is the story of a man who took part in a dance contest." It is thus that Argentine journalist and author Leila Guerriero opens her book. It tells the most difficult of all epic stories: that of the common man.

This is an electrifying work that spans the genres of journalism and fiction. It tells a moving and strangely intimate story about malambo, a traditional dance of the Argentine gauchos, and about the Malambo Festival of Laborde in the southeast of the Argentinian province of C rdoba. It is also about Rodolfo Gonz lez Alc ntara, who won the dance competition in 2012.

Leila Guerriero is a gifted chronicler. Her internationally acclaimed work A Simple Story was published in Spanish in 2013 and in English in 2017, and now appears in German for the first time, in a translation by Angelica Ammar.

First German translation of the impressive chronicle "A foray through life, suffering, sacrifice, silent despair, the dread of loss, solidarity, and glory." (El Pa s) " a] level of excellence: ...] rigorous work, exhaustive research" (Mario Vargas Llosa)
