Pedro Paramo (Pedro Paramo Spanish Edition)
Juan Rulfo
La obra de Juan Rulfo, integrada esencialmente por la coleccion de cuentos El Llano en llamas y las novelas Pedro Paramo y El gallo de oro, es sin duda la creacion literaria mexicana que ha recibido mayor aclamacion dentro y fuera de Mexico. Ningun escritor mexicano goza hoy del reconocimiento universal de Rulfo, nacido en el estado de Jalisco en 1917 y fallecido en la Ciudad de Mexico en 1986. Son numerosos los autores –de la talla de Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Jorge Luis Borges y Susan Sontag– que han dejado testimonios al respecto. Juan Rulfo ejercio de manera paralela el oficio de fotografo durante los anos en que escribia su narrativa, y es importante el numero de publicaciones que han dado a conocer esta faceta. Susan Sontag, autora del clasico On Photography, dijo: Juan Rulfo es el mejor fotografo que he conocido en Latinoamerica.
The work of Juan Rulfo, consisting essentially of the short story collection El Llano en llamas (The Burning Plain) and the novels Pedro Paramo and El gallo de oro (The Golden Cockerel), is doubtless the Mexican literary oeuvre that has garnered the highest accolades both within Mexico and internationally. No other Mexican writer is so widely acclaimed as Rulfo, who was born in the state of Jalisco in 1917 and died in Mexico City in 1986. Numerous writers –of the stature of Gabriel Garc.a M.rquez, Jorge Luis Borges, and Susan Sontag– have testified to the fact. Juan Rulfo also devoted himself to photography during the years he was producing his narrative works, and numerous critical books have dealt with this facet of his oeuvre. Susan Sontag, author of the classic On Photography, said that Rulfo was the finest photographer she had come across in Latin America.
