Fortællinger fra regnskoven

Rate this book
FORTÆLLINGER FRA REGNSKOVEN er en samling dyrefabler fra den latinamerikanske regnskov, og de blev oprindelig skrevet til forfatteren Horacio Quirogas egne børn, for at de kunne lære at begå sig i den regnskov, de boede i. I dag fanger de otte dyrefabler både voksne og børn, fordi deres eventyrlige mystik og humor er baseret på forfatterens observationer af dyr og fauna i det område, der for ham var et jordisk paradis.

Fortællingerne udkom første gang i Argentina i 1918, og bogen er i dag en klassiker i de latinamerikanske lande.

About the author

Horacio Quiroga

672 books747 followers
Horacio Silvestre Quiroga Forteza was an Uruguayan novelist, poet, and (above all) short story writer.

He wrote stories which, in their jungle settings, use the supernatural and the bizarre to show the struggle of man and animal to survive. He also excelled in portraying mental illness and hallucinatory states. His influence can be seen in the Latin American magic realism of Gabriel García Márquez and the postmodern surrealism of Julio Cortázar.
