Summary "El Payador, Vol. I" by Leopoldo Lugones is a work of non-fiction likely written in the early 20th century. This text serves to explore the essence of Argentine folklore, focusing specifically on the significance of the "payador," a type of traditional poet and singer, in shaping the identity of the Argentine people. It delves into the historical, cultural, and poetic dimensions of the gaucho life, intertwining the discussion of the gaucho's role as both a civilizer and a symbol of the Pampas. The opening of this work provides a rich context for understanding the importance of epic poetry in conveying the historical and cultural identity of a nation. Lugones reveals his intent to study the epic tradition in Argentina, particularly through the lens of "Martín Fierro," a classic national poem. He emphasizes the connection between poetry and national character, arguing that the ability to create and appreciate epic poetry reflects the vital qualities and spirit of a race. In the initial chapters, the author sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the gaucho's influence on Argentine culture and literature, portraying him as a heroic figure whose life and experiences encapsulate the struggles and aspirations of the nation.
