Overview
"Desconcertante, lista a inquietar a la cr tica, est ya en los escaparates la primera novela de Juan Rulfo, "Pedro P ramo", que transcurre en una serie de transposiciones on ricas, ahondando m s all de la muerte de sus personajes, que uno no sabe en qu momento son sue o, vida, f bula, verdad, pero a los que se les oye la voz al trav s de la 'perspicacia despiadada y certera' de tan sin duda extraordinario escritor." Con estas palabras iniciaba Edmundo Valad s la primera rese a de Pedro P ramo, aparecida el 30 de marzo de 1955 y conservada por Rulfo entre sus papeles. Desde entonces, escritores como Jorge Luis Borges, Gabriel Garc a M rquez, Gunter Grass, Susan Sontag y Mario Vargas Llosa, o el cineasta Werner Herzog, entre muchos m s de cualquier lengua, coinciden en calificar esta novela como una de las obras maestras de la literatura de todos los tiempos.
The work of Juan Rulfo (1917-1986) is doubtless the Mexican literary creation which has received the greatest acclaim both in Mexico and abroad. The novel "Pedro P ramo" underwent a long gestation. Rulfo mentioned it for the first time in a letter in 1947, and was able to work on it in 1953-1954 thanks to a grant from the Centro Mexicano de Escritores. Excerpts were published in three maga¬zines in 1954, before the novel appeared in book form in 1955. This masterpiece has numbered Gabriel Garc a M rquez, Jorge Luis Borges, and Susan Sontag among its admirers. "Pedro P ramo" evokes the very essence of Mexico through the most advanced literary forms and techniques of the twentieth century. Few works affect a Mexican reader as deeply as this novel, which also holds a place as a classic of world literature. It has been translated into almost fifty languages and new versions appear every year.Customers Also Bought
