Paperback. En el 30.o aniversario de su muerte, llega a la coleccion de Cuentos completos Julio Ramon Ribeyro, uno de los maestros del siglo XX en espanol, en una edicion con prologo de Juan Gabriel Vasquez No haynada mas cinematografico que el retrato humano y en eso los cuentos de Ribeyro son unicos. -Fernando Leon de Aranoa Compuesta a lo largo de mas de cuatro decadas, la narrativa breve de Julio Ramon Ribeyro, a la que el propio autor titulo La palabra del mudo, despliega una variedad de registros que abarcan el ambito de lo fantastico, lo social, lo filosofico, asi como la memoria introspectiva que evoca su juventud europea y su infancia en el Miraflores de su Lima natal. Aunque muchos de sus personajes son victimas de la desilusion o el fracaso, una de las marcas de su imaginario, lo cierto es que sus cuentos trascienden el topico de la derrota y recrean el complejo caudal de la experiencia humana.Este volumen reune la mayor parte de su produccion cuentistica. Noventa y cinco relatos que revelan a un artista dotado para realzar el minusculo resplandor de unas vidas confinadas a la imposibilidad. Fiel a la poetica del fragmento y la periferia, que lo mantuvo al margen del Boom, el autor peruano supo narrar con compasiva ironia el destino de los seres tocados por la frustracion, la decadencia y el misterio, y extraer de ese material sensible una forma de inigualable belleza. Con los anos, la obra de Julio Ramon Ribeyro no ha hecho sino crecer en lectores y admiracion. Estas paginas confirman el lugar privilegiado que ocupa su nombre entre los maestros de la prosa breve de todos los tiempos.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONOn the 30th anniversary of his death, Julio Ramon Ribeyro, one of the masters of twentieth century literature in Spanish, joins the collection Cuentos Completos in an edition prologued by Juan Gabriel Vasquez. There is nothing more cinematic than a human portrait, and at that, Ribeyros short stories are one of a kind. Fernando Leon de Aranoa Composed throughout four decades, Julio Ramon Ribeyros short fiction, which the author himself entitled The Mutes Word, displays a series of registers that covers the spheres of fantasy, society, philosophy, and introspective memory to evoke his European youth and his childhood in Miraflores, in his native Lima. Though many of his characters are victims of disillusionment or failure, one of the markers of his imaginary, the truth is his short stories transcend the topic of defeat and recreate the complex wealth of human experience. This volume gathers the best of his storytelling production. Ninety-five tales that reveal an artist gifted at highlighting the minuscule glow of lives confined to impossibility. Faithful to the poetic of fragmentation and periphery that sidelined him from the Boom movement, the Peruvian author knew how to narrate, with compassionate irony, the fate of those beings touched by frustration, decadence, and mystery, and draw a form of incomparable beauty from that sensitive material. Over the years, the work of Julio Ramon Ribeyro has only gathered readers and admiration. These pages confirm the privileged place his name has among the great masters of short prose of all time.
