About This Book

Il testo offre un ritratto vivace delle imprese di Garibaldi durante l'esilio sudamericano: l'autore celebra il suo coraggio e la dedizione alla libertà, ricostruendo operazioni militari e vicende civili legate alla difesa di Montevideo. Tra prefazione elogiosa, cronaca e descrizioni paesaggistiche, si alternano ritratti della città, del Cerro e delle rive del Río de la Plata, usi locali e scontri con popolazioni e contrabbandieri; emergono temi di esilio, eroismo e ingratitudine patria. Lo stile fonde reportage e narrazione romanzesca per restituire un quadro immediato e avvincente della difficile impresa.
