Pedro
Paramo
by Juan Rulfo, Margaret Sayers Peden
Pedro
Páramo es el título de una novela
del escritor mexicano Juan Rulfo, publicada
en 1955 y adscrita habitualmente al género
del realismo mágico. Esta fue la única
novela del escritor mexicano, y está
considerada como una de las obras cumbres
de la literatura hispanoamericana. La novela
se organiza mediante la superposición
de distintos planos narrativos, de forma que
el presente (la búsqueda de Juan Preciado)
y el pasado (las correrías de Pedro
y Miguel Páramo muchos años
antes) se entrelazan a través de las
voces y los recuerdos de los distintos personajes.
Rulfo
set his classic novel Pedro Pramo as a dream-like
tale that intertwines a man's quest to find
his lost father and reclaim his patrimony
with the father's obsessive love for a woman
who will not be possessed--Susana San Juan.
This volume brings together Rulfo's novel
and Sacabo's photographs to offer a dual artistic
vision of the same unforgettable story. Margaret
Sayers Peden's superb translation renders
the novel as poetic and mysterious in English
as it is in Spanish. Josephine Sacabo's photographs
tell, in her words, "the story of a woman
forced to take refuge in madness as a means
of protecting her inner world from the ravages
of the forces around her: a cruel and tyrannical
patriarchy, a church that offers no redemption,
the senseless violence of revolution, death
itself."
