Synopsis

Libro de cuentos para niños, la selva es el escenario y personaje omnipresente. La selva misionera, con su violencia natural incontenible, frente al hombre, aliado a veces, destructor las más, de esa naturaleza salvaje. Y en medio, la fauna: desde la gigantesca serpiente que declara la guerra al hombre, hasta el indefenso cachorro muerto equivocadamente por la mano de su propio amo.

About this title

About the Author:

Horacio Quiroga was an Uruguayan playwright, poet and short story writer. He wrote stories which, in their jungle set- tings, use the supernatural and the bizarre to show the strug- gle of man and animal to survive. He also excelled in portra- ying mental illness and hallucinatory states. His influence can be seen in the Latin American magic realism of Gabriel García Márquez and the postmodern surrealism of Julio Cortázar.
