Paperback. Etat : New. A partir de la aparición de "Pedro Páramo", Rulfo escribe su segunda novela, "El gallo de oro". Ambientada en el mundo de las peleas de gallos y concebida como proyecto cinematográfico, probablemente se trate de la obra menos conocida del autor mexicano. No obstante ese desconocimiento, la valoración literaria está al mismo nivel que "Pedro Páramo" y "Llano en Llamas".From the appearance of "Pedro Páramo", Rulfo writes his second novel, "El gallo de oro". Set in the world of cockfighting and conceived as a film project, it is probably the lesser-known work of the Mexican author. Despite this ignorance, the literary valuation is at the same level as "Pedro Páramo" and "Llano en Llamas". On the occasion of the centenary of the birth of Juan Rulfo, RM publishes a special edition of "El gallo de oro" to which other stories that complement it are incorporated. The film script of "The secret formula", two early stories by Juan Rulfo: "Life is not very serious in its things" and "A piece of night", and also the one entitled "Castillo de Teayo". Also included is a letter from Rulfo to his wife, Clara Aparicio, in which Rulfo makes a harsh reflection on the nature of a heartless economic system. Finally, the reader will find nine texts that originally appeared in the collection of texts Los cuadernos de Juan Rulfo, an edition that is out of print.

Paperback. Etat : New. "Desconcertante, lista a inquietar a la crítica, está ya en los escaparates la primera novela de Juan Rulfo, "Pedro Páramo", que transcurre en una serie de transposiciones oníricas, ahondando más allá de la muerte de sus personajes, que uno no sabe en qué momento son sueño, vida, fábula, verdad, pero a los que se les oye la voz al través de la 'perspicacia despiadada y certera' de tan sin duda extraordinario escritor." Con estas palabras iniciaba Edmundo Valadés la primera reseña de Pedro Páramo, aparecida el 30 de marzo de 1955 y conservada por Rulfo entre sus papeles. Desde entonces, escritores como Jorge Luis Borges, Gabriel García Márquez, Gunter Grass, Susan Sontag y Mario Vargas Llosa, o el cineasta Werner Herzog, entre muchos más de cualquier lengua, coinciden en calificar esta novela como una de las obras maestras de la literatura de todos los tiempos.The work of Juan Rulfo (1917-1986) is doubtless the Mexican literary creation which has received the greatest acclaim both in Mexico and abroad. The novel "Pedro Páramo" underwent a long gestation. Rulfo mentioned it for the first time in a letter in 1947, and was able to work on it in 1953-1954 thanks to a grant from the Centro Mexicano de Escritores. Excerpts were published in three maga¬zines in 1954, before the novel appeared in book form in 1955. This masterpiece has numbered Gabriel García Márquez, Jorge Luis Borges, and Susan Sontag among its admirers. "Pedro Páramo" evokes the very essence of Mexico through the most advanced literary forms and techniques of the twentieth century. Few works affect a Mexican reader as deeply as this novel, which also holds a place as a classic of world literature. It has been translated into almost fifty languages and new versions appear every year.

Hardback. Etat : New. Seventeen short stories by Juan Rulfo, including "Diles que no me maten"Published with Fundación Rulfo.La presente edición limitada conmemora el 70 aniversario de la publicación de la obra de Juan Rulfo.

Impreso el 18 de septiembre de 1953, el libro El Llano en llamas toma el título del cuento más extenso de los diecisiete que contiene. El rasgo común de estas narraciones, como en las dos novelas posteriores de Juan Rulfo, se encuentra en los sólidos personajes que protagonizan sus acciones y palabras. El Llano en llamas es hoy un clásico de la literatura mexicana e hispanoamericana, y probablemente uno de los volúmenes de cuentos más traducido a otros idiomas en el mundo entero. Obra aparentemente sencilla resulta, sin embargo, profundamente desconcertante e incluye algunas de las imágenes más elocuentes que se hayan leído en la literatura.

Desconcertante, lista a inquietar a la critica, esta ya en los escaparates la primera novela de Juan Rulfo, Pedro Paramo, que transcurre en una serie de transposiciones oniricas, ahondando mas alla de la muerte de sus personajes, que uno no sabe en que momento son sueno, vida, fabula, verdad, pero a los que se les oye la voz al traves de la perspicacia despiadada y certera de tan sin duda extraordinario escritor.

It has been translated into almost fifty languages and new versions appear every year. Con motivo de los 50 anos de la aparicion de la novela Pedro Paramo, del escritor mexicano Juan Rulfo (1917-1986), la Fundacion que lleva su nombre ha concedido a la editorial RM Verlag los derechos editoriales para la publicacion de la version original de este clasico de la literatura latinoamericana. Desde su primera aparicion en 1955 se han prodigado diversas ediciones y mas de 50 traducciones, pero la presente version es la unica avalada por la Fundacion Juan Rulfo, garante de la fidelidad e integridad de la obra. Desde su aparicion, Pedro Paramo provoco una convulsion en el panorama literario de la epoca. En sus aspectos formales, la novela desoriento a los lectores acostumbrados a la unidad de estilo, espacio y tiempo de la novela decimononica. Pedro Paramo, por el contrario, ofrecia una aparente falta de unidad del texto, una composicion desordenada, la ausencia de un argumento central, la aparicion de continuas elipsis y la aparicion de unos personajes en ocasiones fantasmagoricos. En cuanto a su contenido, Pedro Paramo logro retratar de manera lucida y penetrante el espiritu y la idiosincrasia del pueblo mexicano. Las principales fuentes de Rulfo para componer esta obra fueron, sin duda alguna, su formacion como lector, su interes por la historia, la antropologia y el estudio de las culturas y las gentes de Mexico. Siempre dedico gran parte de sus lecturas a este ambito, asistio como oyente a la Universidad y dedico gran parte de su juventud a recorrer los rincones mas interesantes de su pais.

Hardback. Etat : New. "Pedro Páramo is one of the best novels of Spanish-language literature, and even of literature." -Jorge Luis BorgesPublished with Fundación Juan Rulfo.Juan Preciado makes a promise to his dying mother that he will travel to the town of Comala in search of his father, the titular character. Instead, Juan encounters a ghost town that relays to him the fragmented history of his father's cruel and violent life, and how he led Comala to ruin. Though met with an unwelcome critical reception in the years after its publication, Pedro Páramo has ascended into the canon of Mexican literature and magical realism writ large, thanks in no small part to its star-studded list of devotees. Gabriel García Márquez called it "the most beautiful novel ever written in the Spanish language," while Susan Sontag proclaimed: "The goal of every writer's life is to produce one great book-that is, an enduring work-and that is what Rulfo achieved."Commemorating the 70th edition of its original publication, this Spanish-language edition of Pedro Páramo includes unmissable archival material, including more than 100 cover designs from translated editions in over 30 languages. A charming black-and-white postcard of Rulfo placed between the pages provides a glimpse into the character and personality of the "father of magical realism."Juan Rulfo (1917-86) was born in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. The corpus of his narrative work is his short story collection El llano en llamas, his novella El gallo de oro and the novel Pedro Páramo. He was a member of the Mexican Academy of Language. In 1983 he received the Prince of Asturias Award for Literature and in 1985 he was named Doctor honoris causa by the National Autonomous University of Mexico.

That something great, for me, is you." This profound declaration of devotion is a snippet from a love letter addressed to his girlfriend, and eventual wife, Clara Aparicio.Cartas a Clara compiles a series of letters Rulfo penned to his beloved, granting the reader access to the dreams, feelings, concerns, desires and personality of one of the great writers of the 20th century. The volume encourages readers to embrace the miracles of literature: intensity and lucidity, imagination and perfect form, subtle irony and depth. Illustrated with black-and-white archival photographs of Rulfo and Aparicio, it also elucidates the customs of postwar Mexican society and the shifts it underwent upon the arrival of foreign investment. Essayist and poet Alberto Vital pens a reverent foreword, painting a touching portrait of one of the last novelists of the Mexican Revolution.

In the words of another Peruvian writer, Mario Vargas Llosa, "with this novel, Ribeyro has not only written his spiritual autobiography, but also the most beautiful of his books, destined to sure and lasting glory."
