"Essays by translators and scholars from Argentina and US working under auspices of the Univ. Nacional de Mar del Plata.

This critical edition of the novel Sab (published in 1840 in Madrid) is based on the Cuban printing of the 1970s.

Among these topics are slavery, basic rights of the individual in society, nationalism, and women's issues.
