Writing under the pseudonym "e;Jotabeche,"e; Jose Joaquin Vallejo wrote forty-one        short articles on Chilean life and society in the early republic. Known for their        caustic wit, his writings were an instant success when they were first published in        Chilean magazines and newspapers. This volume presents these vivid essays for the        first time in English.Vallejo made famous the style of writing termed        "e;costumbrista"e;--sketches and vignettes of society and local customs. He focused on        the Norte Chico, or the mining zone of Copiapo where he was born and where he lived        most of his later life. His essays include vivid studies of mineworkers; the        advancement of modernity in the steamships at Caldera; the religious, intensely        cultural province of Copiapo; and the general atmosphere of liberalism beginning to        pervade the country of Chile during that time.Considered the founder of his        country's "e;genuinely national literature,"e; he is the first creative writer of        stature to emerge in Chile after the country's wars of independence. A provincial        northerner, his writings give a sense of what these parts of Chile looked and felt        like during the years of the early Chilean republic, and are consequently of        ultimate value.
