Description

Book Synopsis
Thirteen of Uruguayan writer Horacio Quiroga's most compelling tales.

Trade Review
As an author of the macabre and of nature, Quiroga redefined the borders of the fantastic, realizing that pure realism was an abomination of the marvelous and horrific reality of the Latin American jungle. * Review: Latin American Literature and Arts *
Each of the book's stories introduces the reader to a unique denizen of the wild—logger or laborer, small landowner or smalltime experimenter, who must extract an arduous living from the land and struggle with the loneliness of frontier life. Quiroga is at his best when he explores the laconic comradeship of these isolated men. * Choice *
