Romances turbulentos de la historia argentina (Edición Actualizada)
¿Existe algo que genere mayor atracción que los amores clandestinos, prohibidos o secretos? Daniel Balmaceda se ha sumergido en la faceta más desconocida de nuestra historia: los romances, apasionados, desenfrenados y ocultos, de aquellos personajes a los que conocemos por la importancia que ha tenido su vida pública. Pero nos faltaba la parte más jugosa: infidelidades, hijos no reconocidos, celos, escapadas nocturnas. El playboy Roca, el coqueto Belgrano, Sarmiento y su amorío con una alumna, son algunos de los protagonistas de esta edición definitiva de Romances turbulentos de la historia argentina que agrega nuevas historias, como la de Camila O ́Gorman y Ladislao Gutiérrez, como nunca antes se había contado.

Historias de corceles y de acero (de 1810 a 1824)
¿Cómo era la Argentina entre 1810 y 1824? Hay un montón de sucesos ocultos en los años posteriores a la Revolución de Mayo. Hechos inéditos que no aparecen en los libros tradicionales de historia. Daniel Balmaceda observa la historia desde otro lugar, con otros puntos de vista, fomentando el interés sin perder rigor. En este libro nos invita a atravesar, junto a Moreno, la recova de la plaza en una noche solitaria; y a enterarnos de cuánto ganaban y dónde vivían nuestros próceres; quién terminó usando el sable que empleó San Martín en San Lorenzo, o cómo fue la guerra de peinados entre las jovencitas de 1817.
The Politics of Giving in the Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata
During the eighteenth century, a time of almost constant international warfare, European states had to borrow money to finance their military operations. Servicing public debt demanded the collection of more taxes in a newly efficient manner, resulting in the emergence of what scholars call European “tax states.” This book examines a different kind of state finance, based on voluntary donations rather than taxes. Relying on Spanish and Argentine archival research, the author analyzes the “gifts” (donativos) that residents of the Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata, or colonial Argentina, gave to the Spanish Crown and the city council of Buenos Aires. She examines the cultural, political, constitutional, and legal practices associated with loans and donativos in comparison with the practices of other Atlantic states, emphasizing the quid pro quo offered by the crown in the form of appointments to office and other favors. Examining donors, donations, and expectations, she argues that the Spanish system achieved at the imperial level what the British empire and the French monarchy failed to accomplish.
