Andrew Graham-Yooll

Goodbye Buenos Aires (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Buenos Aires in the 1920s was a fascinating destination for a young person looking for a new life: a place of fantasy, adventure and prospects of fast wealth. In Goodbye Buenos Aires Andrew Graham-Yooll weaves together a lightly fictionalized biography of his father, who arrived from Edinburgh, penniless, in 1928, and an account of twentieth-century Argentina. He provides a vivid description of the country, of the torment of emigration and of the catalogue of characters - from the Prince of Wales to Lawrence Durrell and Aristotle Onassis - who flaunted their fortunes and vented their fury about life in this city on the River Plate.
