The actions in El pozo del Yocci take place during the permanent
state of unrest that harrased the argentine northern provinces,
sparked by the quarrels between federalists and unitarians during
Juan Manuel de Rosas' rule over the Argentine Confederation. This
non declared civil war became a temptation to the expansion desires
of the bolivian ruler, mariscal Santa Cruz who, besides giving
shelter to the anti-rosists, encouraged them by financing their
raids against the province governors who sided with the Burenos
Aires government. The turmoil of political hatred among caudillos
was also stirred by personal reasons, many stemming from episodes
happened only 25 years before when the division between royalists
spaniards and independist criollos painfully set brother against
brother, tore appart families and truncated many love stories.
There is no better story-teller than Juana Manuela Gorriti,
daughter of a family forced to exile losing many lives and fortune
due to their confrontation with caudillo Facundo Quiroga, to depict
in a most vivid way the chain of circumstances which, as in a greek
tragedy, events from the past define the present and future of the
main characters. This short novel is not just a jewel of the XIX
Century South American literature, but a vivid fresco where
historical characters become human and alive through the pen of a
most gifted woman writer, who happened to know them personal and
intimately.
