Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from South American Life: An Account of Past and Contemporary Conditions and Progress in South America Our apology for presenting this book is not that so little has been written about Latin America, but that so much literature on this wonderfully interesting country exists that it is practically impossible to get in concise form, and brief enough to be of use to a student, the important information necessary to an intelligent understanding of the subject. Many books have been written about South America - some of them by enthusiastic tourists who may have stayed but a night in each of its fascinating old cities, and have filled in their impressions thus formed with information gathered second-hand from other books and marvelous tales. Other volumes have been written by conscientious investigators like the late William Elroy Curtis, who prepared for his newspaper and magazine articles so much informing and interesting material about the countries of Latin America, more purely descriptive, however, than the student cares for. And still other volumes have been written by authoritative and long-time residents, which, while they are all that can be desired in the information they afford, are usually on a single Republic, in which the writer happens to have spent his life; and to get a comprehensive knowledge of all the Latin American Republics, one would have to read many books.
