"The Purple Land" by W. H. Hudson is a novel published in 1885. When young Englishman Richard Lamb elopes with an Argentinian girl without her father's consent, he flees to Uruguay seeking work. His journey plunges him into dangerous adventures with gauchos, rebel guerrillas, and romantic entanglements across the wild countryside.
