In Sin rumbo Cambaceres portraits scenes of the Argentine upper class at the turn of the XIX Century. Detailed and realistic the author defines with literary uniqueness the atmosphere with the initial clash during the sheep shearing scene. Then come the noon horseback ride to the peasant woman's shack, the forced seduction down to complete surrender in body and soul, and the whim of a night spent together with the sensations that assault and repulse him. The flight to the mundane life in Buenos Aires, the club, the theatres, complete the portrait of a lost man who ends up facing nature in his way back to the estancia, in pursuit of a family life destiny will end up denying him. Cambaceres shows his literary power not only through his intellectual vision and deep knowledge of the argentine spirit, but also through the language prowess of conveying the true upper class "porteño" talk, that familiar Spanish jargon tainted with semi-french semi-gaucho argot that was so particular of his contemporaries and still subsists nowadays, though veiled to the unknowing.

Paperback. Etat : Good. In Sin Rumbo (1885), the Argentine novelist Eugenio Cambaceres (1843-1889) offers a graphic portrait of the decadence of the Argentine upper class at the end of the Nineteenth Century, as seen through the useless, debauched and violent life of the work's protagonist, the wealthy young estanciero, Andres. Detailed and vivid, following the precepts of the naturalist school founded by the French author, Emile Zola, Cambaceres defines with literary uniqueness -especially for nineteenth century Latin American literary circles and society in general- the lack of bearings of the ruling oligarchy in Argentina and the desastrous effects of this lack of direction on the nation's progress. Given the work's particular aesthetic sense and its penchance for social criticism, this novel became -and remains- a standard-bearer for social change and artistic vision in Latin American letters which should be considered for any course which highlights fin-de-siecle nineteenth century Hispanic American Narrative in general, as well as other thematics, such as gender issues, the process of nation-building and the development of national culture in particular. In the preliminary study to this text, Prof. J.P. Spicer-Escalante examines the critical reception of literary naturalism in France and Argentina before the publication of Sin Rumbo, the response by Argentine critics to Cambaceres' opus in general, as well as the author's personal vision of naturalist aesthetics and their relationship to social criticism in Sin Rumbo, adding notes that contribute to an in-depth comprehension of Cambaceres' prototypical naturalist novel. This new edition of Cambacere's classic work - fully annotated, conveniently priced and easily available in the US.- is a must for any literature course that highlights fin-de-siecle nineteenth century Hispanic American Narrative in general, as well as other thematics, such as gender issues, the process of nation-building and the development of national culture in particular.
