Juan Rulfo is one of the most important writers of twentieth-century Mexico, though he wrote only two booksthe novel Pedro Pramo (1955) and the short story collection El llano en llamas (1953). First translated into English in 1967 as The Burning Plain, these starkly realistic stories create a psychologically acute portrait of poverty and dignity in the countryside at a time when Mexico was undergoing rapid industrialization following the upheavals of the Revolution. According to Ilan Stavans, the stories' "depth seems almost inexhaustible: with a few strokes, Rulfo creates a complex human landscape defined by desolation. These stories are lessons in morality. . . . They are also astonishing examples of artistic distillation." Gabriel Garcia Marquez once said: To me Rulfos short stories are as important as his novel Pedro Pramo.

Esta colección contiene 17 cuentos publicados por Juan Rulfo a partir de 1945, cuan¬do aparece “Nos han dado la tierra” en las revistas América y Pan. Rulfo comenta los relatos que sigue escribiendo en cartas a su novia Clara Aparicio. En 1951 se publica el séptimo en América, “Diles que no me maten” (Elías Canetti lo consideraba uno de los mejores de la literatura universal y Gunther Grass es otro admirador del mismo).
Gracias a la primera beca que recibe del Centro Mexicano de Escritores puede termi¬nar los ocho que aparecerán con los previos en 1953, en el libro titulado —por otro cuento— El Llano en llamas, dedicado a Clara. Dos relatos más, aparecidos en revis¬tas en 1955, serán incluidos en 1970. Sus cuentos fueron considerados por Rulfo como su aproximación a Pedro Páramo, en particular “Luvina”. Enrique Vila Matas dice de éste que es “el mejor relato que he leído en mi vida”. (Texto definitivo de la obra establecido por la Fundación Juan Rulfo).
Contiene los 17 cuentos breves más hermosos que se han escrito sobre el sur del estado de Jalisco, en los que la riqueza imaginativa de los personajes de esa región del país, va de la mano de la belleza literaria.
