Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -'The Amazing Argentine' by John Foster Fraser offers an insightful exploration of Argentina's rapid development and cultural intricacies in the early 20th century. Fraser embarks on a journey through the vibrant city of Buenos Aires, often referred to as the 'Paris of the southern hemisphere,' highlighting its bustling commerce, modern infrastructure, and the ostentatious display of wealth. The narrative delves into the city's transformation, driven by significant European immigration, particularly from Italy and Spain, which has contributed to a culturally blended atmosphere. Fraser observes the city's architectural grandeur, with its wide avenues, plazas, and the opulent Colon Theatre, reflecting the nation's prosperity and evolution. The book also touches on the social dynamics of Argentine society, noting the stark contrast between the public display of wealth and the private, conservative nature of family life. Fraser comments on the limited interaction between men and women outside the family circle, a reflection of the lingering influence of traditional Spanish customs. Despite the city's modernity, Fraser notes the persistence of certain cultural practices, such as the elaborate mourning rituals and the peculiar customs surrounding death and burial in the Recoleta Cemetery. Fraser's account extends beyond Buenos Aires, offering glimpses into the broader Argentine landscape, including the ambitious but ultimately unsuccessful attempt to establish La Plata as the federal capital. Through his observations, Fraser paints a picture of a nation undergoing change, grappling with its identity amidst rapid economic growth and cultural change. His narrative captures the essence of Argentina as a land of opportunity, marked by both its achievements and its challenges.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 190 pp. Englisch.…
