El Llano En Llamas (the Burning Plain Spanish Edition)

La obra de Juan Rulfo, integrada esencialmente por la colecci?n de cuentos El Llano en llamas y las novelas Pedro P?ramo y El gallo de oro, es sin duda la creaci?n literaria mexicana que ha recibido mayor aclamaci?n dentro y fuera de M?xico. Ning?n escritor mexicano goza hoy del reconocimiento universal de Rulfo, nacido en el estado de Jalisco en 1917 y fallecido en la Ciudad de M?xico en 1986. Son numerosos los autores --de la talla de Gabriel Garc?a M?rquez, Jorge Luis Borges y Susan Sontag-- que han dejado testimonios al respecto. Juan Rulfo ejerci? de manera paralela el oficio de fot?grafo durante los a?os en que escrib?a su narrativa, y es importante el n?mero de publicaciones que han dado a conocer esta faceta. Susan Sontag, autora del cl?sico On Photography, dijo: Juan Rulfo es el mejor fot?grafo que he conocido en Latinoam?rica. The work of Juan Rulfo, consisting essentially of the short story collection El Llano en llamas (The Burning Plain) and the novels Pedro P?ramo and El gallo de oro (The Golden Cockerel), is doubtless the Mexican literary oeuvre that has garnered the highest accolades both within Mexico and internationally. No other Mexican writer is so widely acclaimed as Rulfo, who was born in the state of Jalisco in 1917 and died in Mexico City in 1986. Numerous writers --of the stature of Gabriel Garc.a M.rquez, Jorge Luis Borges, and Susan Sontag-- have testified to the fact. Juan Rulfo also devoted himself to photography during the years he was producing his narrative works, and numerous critical books have dealt with this facet of his oeuvre. Susan Sontag, author of the classic On Photography, said that Rulfo was the finest photographer she had come across in Latin America.
