Goodbye Buenos Aires

Zusatztext

Buenos Aires in the 1920s was a fascinating destination for a young person looking for a new life: a place of fantasy, adventure and prospects of fast wealth. In Goodbye Buenos Aires Andrew Graham-Yooll weaves together a lightly fictionalized biography of his father, who arrived from Edinburgh, penniless, in 1928, and an account of twentieth-century Argentina. He provides a vivid description of the country, of the torment of emigration and of the catalogue of characters from the Prince of Wales to Lawrence Durrell and Aristotle Onassis who flaunted their fortunes and vented their fury about life in this city on the River Plate.
