NATIONAL BESTSELLER
"One of the best novels in Hispanic literature, and in literature as a whole." -Jorge Luis Borges
The highly influential masterpiece of Latin American literature, now published in a new, authoritative translation, and featuring a foreword by Gabriel GarcĂiacute;a MĂĄaacute;rquez
A masterpiece of the surreal that influenced a generation of writers in Latin America, Pedro PĂĄramo is the otherworldly tale of one man's quest for his lost father. That man swears to his dying mother that he will find the father he has never met--Pedro PĂĄramo--but when he reaches the town of Comala, he finds it haunted by memories and hallucinations. There emerges the tragic tale of PĂĄramo himself, and the town whose every corner holds the taint of his rotten soul. Although initially published to a quiet reception, Pedro PĂĄramo was soon recognized as a major novel that has served as a touchstone text for writers including Mario Vargas Llosa and JosĂ©eacute; Donoso. Now published in a new translation from the definitive Spanish edition by celebrated Rulfo scholar Douglas J. Weatherford, and featuring a foreword by Gabriel GarcĂa MĂĄrquez, this new edition of the novel cements its place as one of the seminal literary texts of the twentieth century.
