From the Publisher:
This book features more than 30 estancias from across Argentina. The diversity of styles reflects the unique blend of Creole and European traditions found in the architecture, interiors, grounds, and gardens of these Argentine rural estates.
Xavier A. Verstraeten’s full-color photographs capture the charm of daily life at these properties. Historian María Sáenz Quesada’s engaging narrative traces their evolution—from the 16th century through their extraordinary heyday a century ago—while also highlighting the important role they play today. Together with vintage black-and-white photographs, they bring to life the legend and reality of the Argentine countryside.
Este libro presenta mas de treinta estancias de todo el pais. La diversidad de los estilos refleja la singular mezcla de tradiciones criollas y europeas presentes en la arquitectura, los interiores, los parques y los jardines de los establecimientos rurales argentinos.
Las fotografias de Xavier A. Verstraeten recrean, a todo color, el encanto de su vida cotidiana. El ameno relato de la historiadora Maria Saenz Quesada recorre su evolucion, desde el siglo XVI, hasta el extraordinario apogeo que alcanzaron hace un siglo, sin olvidar la importante funcion que cumplen en la actualidad. Junto a las antiguas fotografias en blanco y negro, reviven la leyenda y la realidad del campo argentino.
