Pedro Paramo (Coleccion Literatura Siglo, #20) (Southwestern & Mexican Photography Series, The Wittliff Collections at Texas State University) (Autores Espanoles E Iberoamericanos)

by Juan Rulfo

Prof Margaret Sayers Peden (Translator) and Susan Sontag (Foreword)

As one enters Juan Rulfo's legendary novel, one follows a dusty road to a town of death.Time shifts from one consciousness to another in a hypnotic flow of dreams, desires, and memories, a world of ghosts dominated by the figure of Pedro P?ramo - lover, overlord, murderer. Rulfo?s extraordinary mix of sensory images, violent passions and unfathomable mysteries has been a profound influence on a whole generation of Latin American writers including Carlos Fuentes, Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. To read Pedro P?ramo today is as overwhelming an experience as when it was first published in Mexico nearly fifty years ago.
