Title : Pedro Páramo - Juan Rulfo - book

Summary :

It was first read as a "rural" and "peasant" novel, or even as an example of the best "indigenous" literature. In the sixties and seventies, it became a great "Mexican" novel, and then "Latin American." Today, it is said that Pedro Páramo is, quite simply, one of the greatest works of the 20th century, a contemporary classic that critics often compare to Kafka's The Castle and Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury. And for good reason: no one comes out of reading Pedro Páramo unscathed. Like Kafka and Faulkner, Rulfo has managed to stage a fascinating, timeless story of rare beauty: the quest for the father that leads Juan Preciado to Cómala and to meet his destiny, a dizzying journey narrated by a chorus of unusual characters who give us a voice deep in Mexico, beyond the boundaries between memory and oblivion, past and present, the dead and the living. Fifty years after its publication, here at last, according to the original manuscript, is Juan Rulfo's great novel as the author dreamed and conceived it.
