Juan Rulfo

A must-read in the Latin American literary universe, this short novel written in 1955 by Juan Rulfo - the most acclaimed Mexican writer to date - has become a classic of modern literature. Edition with introduction by Gabriel García M & aacute; rquez. A masterpiece of magical realism, this impressive Mexican novel depicts a man on a strange search for his ancestry. His dying mother begs him to find his father, Pedro Párama, from whom they had fled years ago, and for this reason Juan Preciado leaves for Eat it. Comala is a town that lives between shadows and rumors - a place apparently populated only by memories and hallucinations. Built under the tyranny of the Párama family, in its inhospitable and ramshackle streets you can hear the voices of tormented spirits who share the secrets of the past. First published in 1955 and acclaimed by the public and critics, Pedro P & aacute; bouquet represents a break with the largely realistic Latin American novelistic precedent. The fascinating combination of lifetimes, sensory images, violent passions and inexplicable witchcraft that the author creates - a style known as 'magical realism' - -has had a great influence on subsequent Latin American writers, since Jos & eacute; Donoso and Carlos Fuentes to Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel García M & aacute; rquez
