From The Publisher:
Esta obra fue creada enn dos epocas consecutives, aprecio la primer parte en 1872 como El gauncho MartinFierro; siete años nas tarde se publicaba La vuelta de Martin Fierro.
A partir de la ultima ambas partes se publicaron siempre unidas en un unico poema que llego converirse sen la obra arentina por excelecia. Martin Fierro, nombre del proagonista esta, escrita en la lengua propiade los gauchos y en un estilo rustic que expresa en forma autobiografica las vicistudes del mundo de la pampa.
Sus verso son una constant denuncia de la injusa persecucion que sufren los gaucho por los colonizadores espanoles, admenas de ser el gran simbolo tracial y la mas genuine expression del nacionalismo de este pueblo y areas colindates.a

Aunque tiene una buena representación de la historia argentina, la composición del texto no es agradable a la hora de leer.
