Cuentos de amor de locura y de muerte

Rate this book
Si los cuentos son, como afirmaba Cortázar, peleas que se ganan por knockout -al contrario de las novelas que se ganan por asaltos-, entonces podemos afirmar que los títulos incluidos en este volumen cumplen con el requisito de hacer perder el equilibrio de cada lector.

No es posible leer estas historias sin alterarse, y de antemano anunciamos que quien se arriesgue será irremediablemente tocado por el talento de este autor, que no en vano es considerado un maestro del género, tanto que nadie duda que gracias a su pluma el cuento latinoamericano alcanzó su mayoría de edad.

106 pages, Paperback

About the author

Horacio Quiroga

669 books736 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.
