Add to basketSeventeen short stories by Juan Rulfo, including “Diles que no me maten”
Published with Fundación Rulfo.
La presente edición limitada conmemora el 70 aniversario de la publicación de la obra de Juan Rulfo. Contiene el texto definitivo de “El Llano en llamas” así como la primera versión del cuento, una edición facsimilar aparecida en 1950 en la revista América. Esta cuidada edición incluye una separata a color con la reproducción de las portadas de diversas traducciones del libro a diferentes lenguas. Impreso el 18 de septiembre de 1953, el libro El Llano en llamas toma el título del cuento más extenso de los diecisiete que contiene. El rasgo común de estas narraciones, como en las dos novelas posteriores de Juan Rulfo, se encuentra en los sólidos personajes que protagonizan sus acciones y palabras. El Llano en llamas es hoy un clásico de la literatura mexicana e hispanoamericana, y probablemente uno de los volúmenes de cuentos más traducido a otros idiomas en el mundo entero. Obra aparentemente sencilla resulta, sin embargo, profundamente desconcertante e incluye algunas de las imágenes más elocuentes que se hayan leído en la literatura. Imprescindible para cualquier admirador de las letras hispanas.
This special edition of El llano en llamas commemorates the 70th anniversary of its publication. It contains the definitive text of the titular short story together with its first version, originally published in 1950. All in all, this book contains 17 stories published by Rulfo beginning in 1945, when “Nos han dado la tierra” appeared in the literary reviews América and Pan. Rulfo described the progress of his work in letters to his fiancée, Clara Aparicio. In 1951 he published a seventh story in América, “Diles que no me maten” (which Elias Canetti considered one of the finest stories ever written and Günter 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). The book was dedicated to Clara.
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.
