Hernandez, Felisberto Narrativa Reunida / Collected Stories (8420435422)

Un autor magistral cuyos relatos a nan con gran originalidad lo cotidiano con lo extraordinario.

Los relatos de Felisberto Hern ndez, en su esfera de rarezas y a veces en el borde de lo fant stico, abordan la realidad de una manera tan inaudita como certera, para devolv rnosla de tal forma que nos hace pensar que lo que los dem s llam bamos as es una construcci n arbitraria que tan solo present amos, pero que no acert bamos a nombrar.

La suya es una literatura del recuerdo, de la memoria como ficci n y como espejo de la verdad al mismo tiempo, con una marca autobiogr fica de fronteras difusas que a la vez es superada por una imaginaci n desbordante.

Felisberto Hern ndez es, por estos motivos, entre muchos otros, una de las figuras decisivas de la literatura uruguaya y, tambi n, de la narrativa en lengua espa ola del siglo XX.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

All the stories by the Uruguayan author who dazzled Cort zar, Onetti, Garc a M rquez, and Italo Calvino. A masterful author whose tales cleverly unite the everyday with the extraordinary.

The tales of Felisberto Hern ndez, in their realm of eccentricities and sometimes bordering on fantasy, take on reality in such an unprecedented yet accurate way that it makes us think that what the rest of us called 'reality' before was an arbitrary construction that we merely sensed, but that we didn't name properly. His is a literature of memory, of memoir as fiction but also as a mirror of the truth, with an autobiographical style of vague boundaries and boundless imagination. Felisberto Hern ndez is therefore one of the decisive figures in Uruguayan literature and also in 20th-century Spanish-language literature.

With a prologue by the Spanish writer Ray Loriga.
