Summary "The Real Argentine: Notes and Impressions of a Year in the Argentine and Uruguay" by J. A. Hammerton is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. The book offers an in-depth reflection of the author's experiences and observations during his year-long stay in Argentina and Uruguay, and it seeks to present a balanced portrayal of these countries, challenging the often idealized narratives propagated by others. At the start of the narrative, the author recounts his journey from London to Lisbon, detailing the dreary weather and less-than-ideal conditions of travel, while expressing his anticipation for the warmth of South America. He introduces the varied cast of characters encountered onboard the ship headed to the River Plate, including a Portuguese nobleman and various passengers from different walks of life. Hammerton sets the stage for his exploration of life in Buenos Aires, emphasizing his commitment to convey a truthful representation of the cities and their inhabitants, rather than succumbing to the glorified accounts typical in writing about South America. This opening sets a type of tone that combines humor and critical observation, hinting at the candid reflections to come in the rest of the book. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
