Nick Caistor has lived for several years in Buenos Aires
as well as visiting it often over the past three decades.
He has reported on Argentina for the BBC and is a
translator as well as the author of several books on
Latin America. The architect Le Corbusier once called
Buenos Aires the capital of an imaginary empire . From
its foundation in the sixteenth century, Argentina's main
city has been a place of the imagination as well as the
scene of many striking historical events. From foreign
invasions to more modern-day coups d etat and
dictatorships, the city's turbulent history has been
paralleled by a vibrant popular culture born out of the
hardships of immigration and longing for a lost homeland.
This cultural guide looks at the impact of history and
the efforts of men and women to build a city that would
fulfil their dreams, as well as bringing today s Buenos
Aires vividly to life for the visitor.
