Domingo Faustino Sarmiento Boeken
14 februari 1811 – 11 september 1888
Domingo Faustino Sarmiento was een Argentijnse activist, intellectueel, schrijver en staatsman wiens werk een grote invloed had op het 19e-eeuwse Argentinië. Hij wijdde zich met name aan onderwijshervormingen, wat hem de titel "De Leraar" van Latijns-Amerika opleverde. Zijn productieve geschriften omvatten journalistiek, autobiografie, politieke filosofie en geschiedenis. In zijn hoofdwerk bekritiseerde hij de dictatuur en zette hij het verlichte Europa af tegen de vermeende barbaarsheid van de Argentijnse samenleving. Als president bevorderde Sarmiento onderwijs en democratie, terwijl hij tegelijkertijd de infrastructuur van het land moderniseerde, en liet een nalatenschap van verlicht denken en strijd tegen autoritarisme achter.
The memoirs capture Sarmiento's childhood in a colonial Andean province, showcasing the clash between civilization and barbarism. Written during his exile, the narrative reflects on his personal growth and political experiences, positioning himself as a representative figure of newly independent Argentina. Through his reflections, Sarmiento not only chronicles his life but also offers insights into the broader historical and cultural context of South America in the nineteenth century, making it a significant work in Spanish American literature.
