Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"A strange, brooding novel. . . . Great immediacy, power, and beauty." --The Washington Post "A powerful fascination . . . vivid and haunting; the style is a triumph." --New York Herald Tribune "When Susan Sontag, in her foreword to this book, calls Pedro P ramo 'one of the masterpieces of 20th-century world literature, ' she is not being hyperbolic. With its dense interweaving of time, its routine interaction of the living and the dead, its surreal sense of the everyday, and with simultaneous--and harmonious--coexistence of apparently incompatible realities, this brief novel by the Mexican writer Juan Rulfo strides through unexplored territory with a sure and determined step. . . . Having it now in all its depth and texture is a major event for which the publisher and the translator, Margaret Sayers Peden, deserve thanks." --James Polk, New York Times Book Review "No reader interested in the vitality of 20th century Latin American fiction can afford to miss this work." --Rockwell Gray, Chicago Tribune "As close to perfect as a piece of writing gets." --Sheila Farr, Seattle Weekly "A modern classic. . . . Peden's lucid translation does justice to a tale that is firmly rooted in its own culture yet so fundamentally human in its focus that it speaks across cultural borders." --Publishers Weekly

Reseña del editor:

Dentro de su brevedad, determinada por el rigor y la concentraci n expresiva, Pedro P ramo sintetiza la mayor parte de los temas que han interesado siempre a los mexicanos, ese misterio nacional que el talento de Juan Rulfo ha sabido condensar por medio de los cotidianos habitantes de Comala, regi n inscrita ya en la mitolog a literaria universal.
