Book Description

October 13, 2006
Cuentos escritos en 1917 por el Horacio Quiroga, cuentista, dramaturgo y poeta uruguayo. Fue el maestro del cuento lationoamericano, de prosa vivida, naturalista y modernista. Sus relatos breves, que a menudo retratan la naturaleza como enemiga del ser humano bajo rasgos terribles y horrorosos, le valió ser comparado con el estadounidense Edgar Allan Poe.

5.0 out of 5 stars La voz inigualable de Quiroga, May 31, 2000
By A Customer
Como toda uruguaya, estudié en el colegio los cuentos de Horacio Quiroga. Sin embargo, me llevó tiempo comprender el sentido y la profundidad de su palabra. En estos cuentos, que son -cada uno de ellos- pequeñas obras maestras, Quiroga nos trae el amor, la enfermedad, el infortunio, la presencia siempre acechante de la muerte, con la pesadillesca nitidez que caracteriza sus mejores relatos. La creación de climas opresivos, angustiosos, sin bajar jamás la tensión narrativa, es una de las grandes cualidades de Quiroga. Recomiendo a todos la lectura de estos cuentos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Toque unico!!, March 5, 2002
By 
Enio Gonzalez Arreaza (Miami Beach, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
Horacio Quiroga es uno de los pocos autores que da imagenes tan vividas de la realidad, con un toque de ironia, un poco de crueldad, cinismo, y realidad al gusto el autor logra, por medio de cuentos con toque Americano, dar una vision impresionante y poderosa de la literatura Sur Americana, este autor, junto con otros de la literatura Hispano Americana, como Pocaterra, logran llevar en alto a la literatura Criolla, al leer sus cuentos, el autor, de cualquier edad, recuerda, vive y sufre estos relatos. La utilizacion de el cinismo y la crueldad de Quiroga puede llegar a ser tan placentera que llega a convertirse en dulzura, Dulzura que solo este autor, sumergido en tragedias y eventos tragicos pudo alcanzar en su vida.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quiroga's best, January 3, 2002
By 
O. M. Suarez "aerobol" (Mayagüez, Puerto Rico) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Horacio Quiroga has been considered one of the best Latin American short story writers. This book is the best proof of that assesment. It is not fair to judge Quiroga's style based only upon the cruelty of "La Gallina Degollada" (The decapitated chicken), which -by the way- is a lesson on how to write short stories. This diminishes the quality of the other tales, sprinkled with social testimony (and subtle denunciations), love stories, and with plenty of humanity. Quiroga's love for nature is reflected occasionally in this book as his characters struggle against it. Other books are better examples: Cuentos de la Selva (a must in children's literature) and two of my favorite ones: Anaconda and El Regreso de Anaconda. However this book demonstrates how few words a genial writer needs to describe insanity, bravery, and love as unavoidable parts of Humankind.
