Synopsis

Los ríos profundos, by Jose Maria Arguedas, narrates the learning process of Ernesto, a 14-year-old boy who has to confront the injustices of the adult world of which he has begun to form a part and in which he must select his future. Ernesto is the son of a lawyer who is always persecuted by political enemies. He finds protection in an indigenous community until his father recognizes him and takes him away from town to town. Eventually he joins a college of religious men. From that moment he describes memories of the past, of the diverse indigenous populations, and the phase of his life in the college whose environment is grim and often repugnant.

Review:

Jose Maria Arguedas ha sido el punto de partida para las principales teorizaciones sobre una cuestion capital en las letras de la America Latina: la ""transculturacion"". El autor inserta con intensidad y complejidad elementos de la cultura andina dentro de formas culturales occidentales. El propio titulo de ""Los rios profundos"" (de cauce profundo y caudal generoso son los rios de la Sierra peruana) connota la profundidad de las solidas raices ancestrales de la identidad peruana, cabalmente asumida, en contraposicion al caracter sobreimpuesto de una cultura occidental y cosmopolita a espaldas del legado historico milenario del Peru. Ejemplo de vida plena entre el individuo, la sociedad y el cosmos, provechoso de conocer para la humanidad entera. --Los editores
