Pedro Paramo. Plain on Fire
9.99 €
The stories included in the collection "Plain on Fire" were written from 1945 to 1955, and although they are devoted to the problems of the Mexican provinces, many of them are still relevant today. At the same time, we are talking not only about banditry or abuse of power at the local level ("Comadres Slope", "Plain on Fire"), but also about such Mexican phenomena as, for example, "coyoteism" - the illegal transportation of immigrants to the United States, which became one of the themes of the story "To the North". The heroes of the stories are painfully looking for a way out of the vicious circle of poverty and violence. In some cases, deliberate murder is accidental and ordinary for a number of characters. Each of Rulfo's stories, along with a social reading, also has another, universal human reading - the relationship between father and son, collective memory, blood feud, sin, salvation and much more. Rulfo explores human nature on a scale comparable to the works of Cervantes, Shakespeare or Dostoevsky.
"Pedro Páramo" is the opus magnum of the Mexican writer. One of the most translated texts of the "magical realism" movement ever written in Latin America, which influenced such masters of Spanish-language literature as Alejo Carpentier (Cuba), Miguel Ángel Asturias (Guatemala), Juan Carlos Onetti (Uruguay), Gabriel García Márquez (Colombia), Jorge Luis Borges (Argentina).
