| Summary | "Ranchos (Costumbres del Campo)" by Javier de Viana is a collection of literary sketches likely written in the early 20th century. The work explores rural life in the gaucho culture, depicting various characters and scenarios that highlight the customs, struggles, and humor of country living. It presents a vivid tapestry of life on the pampas, with a focus on the interpersonal relationships among its characters. The opening of the collection sets the tone by immersing the reader in the atmosphere of a rural gathering during a stormy night. It introduces a group of gauchos around a fire, sharing stories and traditions while the tempest outside evokes a sense of camaraderie and folklore. As the old storyteller Matías regales the audience with tales, the narrative intertwines humor with a touch of supernatural, showcasing how everyday experiences in the countryside blend with the extraordinary and the cultural memory of the gaucho lifestyle. This scene not only captures the essence of community among the gauchos but also hints at the conflicts and sentiments that will be explored in subsequent stories.
