Odisea de tierra firme

"Much better known for his essays and autobiographical writings, Picón reconstructs the history of Venezuela from the 18th-early 20th century in this work. Written at the height of the costumbrista and realist period, this reissue of his 1931 novel will allow a reassessment of the narrative quality of one of Venezuela's major writers"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
