Este primer volumen de las novelas cortas de Juan Carlos Onetti reune: El pozo (1939), Los adioses (1954), Para una tumba sin nombre (1959), La cara de la desgracia (1960) y Jacob y el otro (1961). Con la publicacion de El pozo en 1939, Juan Carlos Onetti imprimia las primeras huellas de una trayectoria extraordinaria al tiempo que la literatura hispanoamericana abria sus puertas a una voz irrepetible.

Este primer volumen de sus Novelas breves abarca un periodo de veintidos anos a lo largo de los cuales el autor uruguayo consolido e hizo inconfundible un estilo perpetrado en obras como las que aqui se reunen: Los adioses (1954), Para una tumba sin nombre (1959) , La cara de la desgracia (1960) y Jacob y el otro (1961), ademas de su ya mentado debut narrativo. Sus paginas son el fruto amargo de la turbia pero hiriente mirada de unos ojos enfrentados alrostro mismo de la existencia y la condicion humana.

Resenas:
Onetti sintetiza, simultaneamente, la precision constructiva y linguistica de Borges y la pasion humana. Para mi, Onetti escribe en el limite del idioma.
Antonio Munoz Molina

El mas grande novelista latinoamericano.
Julio Cortazar

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The first of the great works by an essential author, considered by Mario Vargas Llosa as the first modern Latin American novel. Eladio Linacero, an existential antihero, is run down by his realization of the degeneration of human existence and the uselessness of all attempts at communication.

He tries to free himself from his daily tedium through fiction… Writing about a dream set in Canada is the escape route that lets him construct a new reality of his own design, as the protagonist attempts to do something different. Something better than the things that happened to me. I would like to write the story of an unfettered soul, without the circumstances which ended up ensnaring him.
