Böcker av Ariel de la Fuente

Until now Jorge Luis Borges has been considered an asexual author who could not read or write about sex, but in this study historian Ariel de la Fuente reveals for the first time the relationship between Borges's sexual biography, his erotic readings, and the expression of desire and sex in his literature.

Examines post-independence Argentinian instability and political struggle from the perspective of rural lower classes. Exploring 19th-century society, culture, and politics in the Argentine interior, this book departs from the predominant Buenos Aires-centered historiography to analyse this period in the processes of state- and nation-building.
