This year the popular Buenos Aires popularizer, a native of Mercedes, published the historical books “The Grenadiers of San Martin” by the publishing house Hojas del sur and “streets” through the famous Spanish publisher. With these texts, the writer almost reaches twenty publications throughout his renowned career.

About his latest book, distributed by Planeta, Philip Pigna explained: “Through the internal battles and the basic conflicts of our nation, we can understand political, economic and social decisions that still define us as a society today. Finally, it is an opportunity to reveal some rarely told stories, such as the tragedy of the Pallottine monks during the last military dictatorship, the fictional life of Eduardo Arolas or discover characters who have changed our lives and we don’t even know it, like the chemist Michael Faraday”.
