Cuentos de Amor de Locura Y de Muerte - (Clásicos Ilustrados) by Horacio Quiroga (Hardcover)

About the Book

"Esta es la obra mâas representativa de Horacio Quiroga. En estos relatos, Quiroga se maneja con absoluta maestrâia en el terreno de la narraciâon de terror (no en vano se lo compara con Poe y Maupassant, como se puede apreciar al leer historias tan estremecedoras como "La gallina degollada"), y nos ofrece uno de los mâaximos exponentes del modernismo latinoamericano. Es, tambiâen, la obra mâas personal de alguien cuya trâagica existencia estuvo marcada tanto por el amor como por la locura y la muerte."--Provided by publisher.
