Domingo Faustino Sarmiento

    14. február 1811 – 11. september 1888

    Domingo Faustino Sarmiento bol argentínsky aktivista, intelektuál, spisovateľ a štátnik, ktorého dielo ovplyvnilo 19. storočie v Argentíne. Osobitne sa zameriaval na vzdelávanie a bol považovaný za „Učiteľa“ Latinskej Ameriky. Jeho rozsiahla tvorba zahŕňala žurnalistiku, autobiografiu, politickú filozofiu a históriu. Vo svojom najslávnejšom diele kritizoval diktatúru a kontrastoval osvietenú Európu s barbarstvom argentínskych pomerov. Počas svojho prezidentského obdobia presadzoval vzdelanie a demokraciu a modernizoval infraštruktúru krajiny. Jeho literárny odkaz spočíva v podpore osvieteného myslenia a v boji proti diktatúram.
