Dreams and Realities

Our Native Land
Our Native Lane (La tierra natal), Juana Manuela Gorriti's last major work, published in 1889, relates a physical journey through northern Argentina as well as a voyage back through her memories of the people and events she had known and experienced along the way. Juana Manuela Gorriti was one of the major literary figures in nineteenth century Latin America but her work remains almost unknown outside a narrow academic circle. Born into a wealthy family in Salta, Argentina, in 1818, she married Manuel Isidro Belzú, who was later to become president of Bolivia. Her principal works include collections of short stories and several novellas.

Camila O'Gorman, a transgressive aristocratic woman who proudly defied the values of Family, Church, and Society in nineteenth-century Argentina, was executed beside her lover, the priest Ladislau Gutiérrez. Since her execution by dictator Juan Manuel de Rosas, her life and death represent a myth of rebellion and repression in the Argentine imagination, inspiring many works of literature and film.
