Repúblicas en armas

Felipe Pigna nos sumerge en la creación de uno de los partidos más grandes de la provincia de Buenos Aires: Escobar. Los querandíes y guaraníes, los estancieros y peones, los inmigrantes y particularmente los japoneses (que trajeron su pasión por las flores) son algunos de los protagonistas que componen este libro. La historia de Escobar (con sus luchas épicas, sus conquistas políticas, su tradición y la inmensa belleza del partido de las flores) nos interpela a todos los argentinos en el recorrido que propone el docente recientemente galardonado con el premio Konex.

Unificados bajo el liderazgo de Gengis Kan los mongoles sometieron a grandes imperios, como el chino y el persa, y a infinidad de pueblos con efectivos militares muy superiores, riquezas ingentes y culturas milenarias. Fueron conquistadores «sin metáfora», es decir, sin...
