Pronounced 'cheena': designation for female, from the Quechua. Iron: The English word for Fierro, reference to the gaucho Mart�in Fierro, from Jos�e Hern�andez's epic poem. 520 $a "This is a riotous romp taking the reader from the turbulent frontier culture of the pampas deep into indigenous territories. It charts the adventures of Mrs China Iron, Mart�in Fierro's abandoned wife, in her travels across the pampas in a covered wagon with her new-found friend, soon to become lover, a Scottish woman named Liz. While Liz provides China with a sentimental education and schools her in the nefarious ways of the British Empire, their eyes are opened to the wonders of Argentina's richly diverse flora and fauna, cultures and languages, as well as to its national struggles. After a clash with Colonel Hern�andez (the author who 'stole' Mart�in Fierro's poems) and a drunken orgy with gauchos, they eventually find refuge and a peaceful future in a utopian indigenous community, the river- dwelling I�nchi�n people. Seen from an ox-drawn wagon, the narrative moves through the Argentinian landscape, charting the flora and fauna of the Pampas, Gaucho culture, Argentinian nation-building and British colonial projects."--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Hern�andez, Jos�e, $d 1834-1886 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $z Argentina $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Abandoned wives $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Lesbians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Voyages and travels $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Imperialism $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Argentina $x History $y 1810- $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Argentina $x Description and travel $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Travel. 650 0 $a Lesbian fiction. 650 0 $a History. 650 0 $a Historical fiction. 650 0 $a Biographical fiction. 650 0 $a Action and adventure fiction. 650 0 $a Fiction. 650 0 $a Novels. 650 0 $a Argentine fiction $v Translations into English. 700 1 $a Mackintosh, Fiona J. $q (Fiona Joy), $d 1970- $e translator. 700 1 $a Macintyre, Iona, $e translator. 700 1 $i Based on (work): $a Hern�andez, Jos�e, $d 1834-1886. $t Mart�in Fierro. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781999368425 941 $a 4 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014614.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20230901010200.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210505011627.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210304010318.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9590CD121F3411EB9C788AD42EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
