"Vine a Comala porque me dijeron que aca vivia mi padre, un tal Pedro Paramo. Mi madre me lo dijo. Y yo le prometi que vendria a verlo en cuanto ella muriera".

Obra maestra del universo literario en espanol, esta portentosa novela mexicana narra la historia de Pedro Paramo, un caudillo local de quien dependen la vida y la muerte de un pueblo, Comala, y del hijo que va a buscarlo porque asi se lo prometio a su madre moribunda. El narrador, JuanPreciado, llega a un pueblo deshabitado pero lleno de susurros, y a traves de estos conoce la destruccion que trajo la convulsa pasion de Pedro Paramo hacia Susana San Juan. Publicada en 1955 y aclamada por el publico y la critica, Pedro Paramo representa un cambio radical con la novela realista de la epoca. Edicion con introduccion de Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

"No vayas a pedirle nada. Exigele lo nuestro. Lo que estuvo obligado a darme y nunca me dio... El olvido en que nos tuvo, mi hijo, cobraselo caro".

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A masterpiece of the surreal, this stunning novel from Mexico depicts a man's strange quest for his heritage. Beseeched by his dying mother to locate his father, Pedro Paramo, whom they fled from years ago, Juan Preciado sets out for Comala. Comala is a town alive with whispers and shadows-a place seemingly populated only by memory and hallucinations. Built on the tyranny of the Paramo family, its barren and broken-down streets echo the voices of tormented spirits sharing the secrets of the past.

First published to both critical and popular acclaim in 1955, Pedro Paramo represented a distinct break with earlier, largely "realist" novels from Latin America. Rulfo's entrancing mixture of vivid sensory images, violent passions, and inexplicable sorcery-a style that has come to be known as 'magical realism"-has exerted a profound influence on subsequent Latin American writers, from Jos' Donoso and Carlos Fuentes to Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
