Add to basketA partir de la aparición de “Pedro Páramo”, Rulfo escribe su segunda novela, “El gallo de oro”. Ambientada en el mundo de las peleas de gallos y concebida como proyecto cinematográfico, probablemente se trate de la obra menos conocida del autor mexicano. No obstante ese desconocimiento, la valoración literaria está al mismo nivel que “Pedro Páramo” y “Llano en Llamas”.
From the appearance of "Pedro Páramo", Rulfo writes his second novel, "El gallo de oro". Set in the world of cockfighting and conceived as a film project, it is probably the lesser-known work of the Mexican author. Despite this ignorance, the literary valuation is at the same level as "Pedro Páramo" and "Llano en Llamas". On the occasion of the centenary of the birth of Juan Rulfo, RM publishes a special edition of "El gallo de oro" to which other stories that complement it are incorporated. The film script of "The secret formula", two early stories by Juan Rulfo: "Life is not very serious in its things" and "A piece of night", and also the one entitled "Castillo de Teayo". Also included is a letter from Rulfo to his wife, Clara Aparicio, in which Rulfo makes a harsh reflection on the nature of a heartless economic system. Finally, the reader will find nine texts that originally appeared in the collection of texts Los cuadernos de Juan Rulfo, an edition that is out of print.
Juan Rulfo nació el 16 de mayo de 1917. Fue registrado en Sayula y vivió en la población de San Gabriel, pero las tempranas muertes de su padre (1923) y su madre (1927) obligaron a sus abuelos a inscribirlo en un internado en Guadalajara, la capital de Jalisco.
Durante sus años en San Gabriel conoce la biblioteca literaria de un cura, depositada en la casa familiar, experiencia esencial en su formación. Se suele destacar su orfandad como determinante en su vocación artística, olvidando que su contacto temprano con aquellos libros tendría un peso mayor en este terreno.
Una huelga en la Universidad de Guadalajara le impide inscribirse en ella y se traslada a la ciudad de México. Asiste a cursos en la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras y se convierte en un conocedor de la literatura histórica, antropológica y geográfica de México. Durante las décadas de 1930 y 1940 viaja extensamente por el país, trabaja en Guadalajara o en la ciudad de México y comienza a publicar sus cuentos gracias a su gran amigo Efrén Hernández. En estos mismos años se inicia como fotógrafo.
Obtiene en 1952 la primera de las dos becas consecutivas del Centro Mexicano de Escritores, fundada por la estadounidense Margaret Shedd, sin duda la persona determinante para que Rulfo publicase en 1953 "El Llano en llamas" y en 1955 la novela "Pédro Páramo", que lo consagran como un clásico de la lengua española.
Las dos últimas décadas de su vida las dedicó Rulfo al Instituto Nacional Indigenista, donde se encargó de la edición de una de las colecciones más importantes de antropología contemporánea y antigua de México.
Juan Rulfo falleció en la ciudad de México el 7 de enero de 1986.
