Paperback. La encuesta del Instituto Nobel de Suecia, de 2002, dirigida a un centenar de escritores y estudiosos de todo el mundo, ubico a Pedro Paramo entre las cien obras que constituyen el nucleo del patrimonio universal de la literatura.This collection contains 17 stories published by Rulfo beginning in 1945, when Nos han dado la tierra appeared in the literary reviews America and Pan. Rulfo described the progress of his work in letters to his fiancee Clara Aparicio. In 1951 he published a seventh story in America, Diles que no me maten (which Elias Canetti considered one of the finest stories ever written and Guenter Grass admired as well). Thanks to a first grant from the Centro Mexicano de Escritores, Rulfo was able to finish eight more stories, which appeared with those already published under the general title of El Llano en llamas (The Burning Plain), also the name of one of the stories in the volume. The book was dedicated to Clara. Esta obra es considerada la primera de las dos obras maestras que escribio Juan Rulfo junto a Pedro Paramo. El Llano en llamas, publicado en 1953, esta formado por 15 cuentos, a los que incorporo posteriormente el titulado 'La herencia de Matilde Arcangel', asi como 'El dia del derrumbe'. En esta recopilacion de cuentos, ya se hace patente la virtuosidad de la narrativa de Rulfo, asi como el dominio y la capacidad expresiva con todo lo relacionado con la esencia, el espiritu del pueblo mexicano.A los 37 anos, y con esta obra, Juan Rulfo comenzo una de las carreras literarias mas sorprendentes de Latinoamerica. Ningun escritor ha podido aspirar al parangon intelectual al que llego con tan solo dos obras publicadas en apenas un par anos.Cada uno de los cuentos que componen El llano en llamas, nos presenta, desde cada una de sus tramas, el espiritu de un pais en toda su profundidad. El conocimiento sobre el caracter, las costumbres y las peculiaridades de las culturas del interior de la Republica Mexicana se hace patente en cada una de sus paginas.

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.
