Paperback. Desconcertante, lista a inquietar a la critica, esta ya en los escaparates la primera novela de Juan Rulfo, Pedro Paramo, que transcurre en una serie de transposiciones oniricas, ahondando mas alla de la muerte de sus personajes, que uno no sabe en que momento son sueno, vida, fabula, verdad, pero a los que se les oye la voz al traves de la perspicacia despiadada y certera de tan sin duda extraordinario escritor. Con estas palabras iniciaba Edmundo Valades la primera resena de Pedro Paramo, aparecida el 30 de marzo de 1955 y conservada por Rulfo entre sus papeles. Desde entonces, escritores como Jorge Luis Borges, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Gunter Grass, Susan Sontag y Mario Vargas Llosa, o el cineasta Werner Herzog, entre muchos mas de cualquier lengua, coinciden en calificar esta novela como una de las obras maestras de la literatura de todos los tiempos.The work of Juan Rulfo (19171986) is doubtless the Mexican literary creation which has received the greatest acclaim both in Mexico and abroad. The novel Pedro Paramo underwent a long gestation. Rulfo mentioned it for the first time in a letter in 1947, and was able to work on it in 19531954 thanks to a grant from the Centro Mexicano de Escritores. Excerpts were published in three magazines in 1954, before the novel appeared in book form in 1955. This masterpiece has numbered Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Jorge Luis Borges, and Susan Sontag among its admirers. Pedro Paramo evokes the very essence of Mexico through the most advanced literary forms and techniques of the twentieth century. Few works affect a Mexican reader as deeply as this novel, which also holds a place as a classic of world literature. It has been translated into almost fifty languages and new versions appear every year. Con motivo de los 50 anos de la aparicion de la novela Pedro Paramo, del escritor mexicano Juan Rulfo (1917-1986), la Fundacion que lleva su nombre ha concedido a la editorial RM Verlag los derechos editoriales para la publicacion de la version original de este clasico de la literatura latinoamericana. Desde su primera aparicion en 1955 se han prodigado diversas ediciones y mas de 50 traducciones, pero la presente version es la unica avalada por la Fundacion Juan Rulfo, garante de la fidelidad e integridad de la obra. Desde su aparicion, Pedro Paramo provoco una convulsion en el panorama literario de la epoca. En sus aspectos formales, la novela desoriento a los lectores acostumbrados a la unidad de estilo, espacio y tiempo de la novela decimononica. Pedro Paramo, por el contrario, ofrecia una aparente falta de unidad del texto, una composicion desordenada, la ausencia de un argumento central, la aparicion de continuas elipsis y la aparicion de unos personajes en ocasiones fantasmagoricos. En cuanto a su contenido, Pedro Paramo logro retratar de manera lucida y penetrante el espiritu y la idiosincrasia del pueblo mexicano. Las principales fuentes de Rulfo para componer esta obra fueron, sin duda alguna, su formacion como lector, su interes por la historia, la antropologia y el estudio de las culturas y las gentes de Mexico. Siempre dedico gran parte de sus lecturas a este ambito, asistio como oyente a la Universidad y dedico gran parte de su juventud a recorrer los rincones mas interesantes de su pais.

About the Author
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.
