Excerpt from Los Payadores GauchosThe names of certain countries, like those of well known individuals, will ever bring to the imagination a train of thoughts intimately associated with preconceived ideas, borro wed from long established prejudices and popular beliefs. Modern methods of critical research with their peering eyes and sneering unbelief, often contend in vain against the stub born resistance of accepted opinions. They may at best estab lish ao-called historical accuracy for the benefit of a select few, provided the latter see the true picture of events back of the authors individual handling. The general public, how ever, is apt to be more conservative. It harbours an instino tive dislike for the searcher after truth and willing ly con founds him With the meddling industrious worm, whose one object in life is to prove Herodotus a liar, Shakespeare a cipher, William Tell a mountain mist, or to show by docu mentary evidence that tables were not used in the days of king Arthur.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
