About the author
Born in Dolores, Argentina, in 1882 and later dying in Buenos Aires in 1965, Wenceslao Jaime Molins wrote under forms of his name including W. Jaime Molins. Sources describe him as a journalist and a prolific writer, and surviving records of his books show how wide his interests were.
His published works include Selva y montaña, cuentos americanos (1918), La ciudad única (Potosí), Bolivia: crónicas americanas, La Pampa, and Nuestra Pampa; libro de lectura. That range suggests a writer drawn both to literary portraiture and to educational writing, especially around regional identity, landscape, and everyday life.
Molins is especially associated with writing on Potosí and the Pampas. Commentators note that a visit to Potosí left a deep impression on him, later shaping La ciudad única, while Nuestra Pampa was used as a school reading text in Buenos Aires Province. Even from these few confirmed details, he comes across as an author who wanted readers to see South America more closely and imaginatively.
