This new volume introduces the thesis "On People" (1897), since for years the whereabouts of the manuscript, which had not been published in the previous edition (1981), was unknown. The beginnings of his writing are essential to understand and define a Macedonio Fernández prior to the constitution of the figure of the writer and who, without a doubt, although unclassifiable, today occupies a central place in Argentine and Latin American literature of the 20th century. This book contains the development of the following topics, among others: The democratic revolution; Don Candido Bad Luck; Philological Digressions; L. Arréat's response to a letter from Macedonio Fernández; Atomistic Psychology (Quasi-Fantasy); The ?science of life?; and Essay on a new theory of the psyche. --Amazon.com
