El Chacho, escrito por Eduardo Gutiérrez, es una crónica sobre la vida de Ángel Vicente "El Chacho" Peñaloza, una figura significativa de la historia argentina del siglo XIX. Peñaloza, conocido como el "último caudillo de la montonera de los Llanos", fue un líder político y militar que resistió al centralismo de Buenos Aires durante las guerras civiles argentinas.
Peñaloza nació en La Rioja y lideró varias insurrecciones en las provincias del interior en un intento de resistir la creciente influencia de Buenos Aires. Fue un defensor de los derechos de los gauchos y las clases bajas, y buscaba un federalismo más inclusivo que otorgara mayor autonomía a las provincias.
Eduardo Gutiérrez, el autor de El Chacho, es conocido por sus obras de ficción y no ficción sobre la historia argentina y sus personajes emblemáticos. Aunque algunos de sus trabajos pueden tener elementos de ficción, a menudo se basan en hechos históricos y personajes reales.
El Chacho es una exploración de un período tumultuoso en la historia argentina y un homenaje a una figura que luchó por los derechos de los marginados. En la obra, Gutiérrez retrata a Peñaloza como un líder militar, defensor de los derechos de los gauchos y los desfavorecidos. La crónica proporciona un vistazo a la vida y los tiempos de este personaje histórico importante, y a través de él, ofrece una visión de la Argentina del siglo XIX.
Francisco de Quevedo y Villegas (Madrid, 1580-Villanueva de los Infantes, Ciudad Real, 1645). Espana. Hijo de Pedro Gomez de Quevedo, noble y secretario de una hija de Carlos V y de la reina Ana de Austria. Francisco de Quevedo estudio con los jesuitas en Madrid, y luego en las universidades de Alcala (lenguas clasicas y modernas) y Valladolid (teologia).Tras su regreso a Madrid tuvo la proteccion del duque de Osuna, con quien viajo a Sicilia en 1613. Osuna fue nombrado virrey de Napoles y Quevedo ocupo su secretaria de hacienda y participo en misiones politicas contra Venecia promovidas por su protector. Cuando este cayo en desgracia Quevedo sufrio destierro y prision, pero regreso a la corte tras la muerte de Felipe III. Durante anos tuvo buenas relaciones con Felipe IV, aunque no consiguio ganarse la simpatia de su favorito, el conde-duque de Olivares. Se especula que dejo bajo la servilleta del monarca el memorial contra Olivares titulado Catolica, sacra, real Majestad, lo que motivo su detencion en 1639. Se cree, en cambio, que termino en un calabozo del convento de San Marcos de Leon, donde estuvo hasta 1643, victima de una conspiracion. Murio en Villanueva de los Infantes.
