Martín Fierro is for Argentines what el Cid is for the Spanish, what Achilles is for the Greeks, Horatio Alger is for us. This is the country's most famous work of literature -- and stellar example from the long tradition of gaucho poetry. It depicts a savage world where the real bad guys are the forces of modernization that are destroying his way of life.
