Terve everyone ! Last week-end, I asked my brother to choose the country that would follow Argentina for my challenge…why did he choose Finland ? Maybe because one of the things you need to know about me is that I have been fascinated by this country for years. Don’t ask me why, I couldn’t really …
¡Hola everyone ! Okay, let’s get back to that moment when I was (as usual) searching for titles for my list. I am quietly surfing on the webpage of the éditions Seuil’s catalogue, and I must admit that it is its cover that incites me to find out more about The History of Argentina, by …
