Abstract

One of the several imperatives that guide the editorial work of Edhasa's Argentine subsidiary is the task of rescuing national and foreign books from the past that are still required reading in the present. With this conviction, the publishing house is betting on a new reprint of Villa by Luis Gusmán, on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of its publication. The novel is one of the first literary experiments that rescues the first-person voice of the links that were part of the great repressive machinery that was set in motion in the 1970s until the early 1980s by political leaders belonging to the extreme right sector during the last Peronist constitutional government (1973-1976) and the anti-democratic governments that followed during the Military Dictatorship (1976-1983), to fight and exterminate ideological dissidence.
