'''Don Segundo Sombra''' is a seminal 1926 novel by Argentine rancher Ricardo Güiraldes. Like José Hernández's poem ''Martín Fierro'', its protagonist is a gaucho. However, unlike Hernández's poem, ''Don Segundo Sombra'' does not romanticize the figure of the gaucho, but simply examines the character as a shadow (''sombra'') cast across Argentine history.
In 1969 it was made into a film.
