Synopsis
José María Arguedas is one of the few Latin American authors who loved and described his natural surroundings, and he ranks among the greatest writers of any time and place. He saw the beauty of the Peruvian landscape, as well as the grimness of social conditions in the Andes, through the eyes of the Indians who are a part of it. Ernesto, the narrator of Deep Rivers, is a child with origins in two worlds. The son of a wandering country lawyer, he is brought up by Indian servants until he enters a Catholic boarding school at age 14. In this urban Spanish environment he is a misfit and a loner. The conflict of the Indian and the Spanish cultures is acted out within him as it was in the life of Arguedas. For the boy Ernesto, salvation is his world of dreams and memories. While Arguedas' poetry was published in Quechua, he invented a language for his novels in which he used native syntax with Spanish vocabulary. This makes translation into other languages extremely difficult, and Frances Horning Barraclough has done a masterful job, winning the 1978 Translation Center Award from Columbia University for her efforts.

Soft cover. Condition: Good. POS, rubbed spine, scuffed wraps, clean interior, strong binding. Esta novela narra el proceso de aprendizaje de Ernesto, un muchacho de catorce an~os, que tiene que enfrentarse a las injusticias del mundo adulto del que empieza a formar parte y en el que debe elegir su futuro. Ernesto es hijo de un abogado errante, siempre perseguido por enemigos poli?ticos. Encuentra proteccio?n en una comunidad indi?gena hasta que el padre lo recoge y lo lleva consigo de pueblo en pueblo. Finalmente lo interna, en Abancay, en un colegio de religiosos. Desde ese momento describe recuerdos del pasado--de los diversos poblados indi?genas--y la etapa de su vida en el colegio, cuyo ambiente es sombri?o y muchas veces repugnante. El desarrollo del argumento pasa por la evocacio?n de la e?poca anterior al internado hasta la toma de conciencia de un Ernesto adulto que debe escoger entre el mundo andino y la clase hacendada. La personalidad ambivalente del protagonista, su pertenencia real a la clase de los blancos y su identificacio?n con la cultura indi?gena, hace del relato uno de los ma?s desgarradores dentro de las letras hispanoamericanas. De la misma manera, la excelencia del lenguaje utilizado por el autor, donde tambie?n se entrelazan estos dos mundos, en ocasiones su estilo traduce al espan~ol el habla peculiar del indio mediante una recreacio?n este?tica, demuestra la maestri?a de Arguedas como narrador, y justifica su lugar de privilegio dentro de los actuales escritores latinoamericanos ma?s importantes. Los ri?os profundos es la tercera novela del escritor peruano Jose? Mari?a Arguedas. Publicada por la Editorial Losada en Buenos Aires (1958), recibio? en el Peru? el Premio Nacional de Fomento a la Cultura Ricardo Palma (1959) y fue finalista en Estados Unidos del premio William Faulkner (1963).
