«El Llano en llamas» is a book of short stories by Mexican writer Juan Rulfo, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (142 pages, in Spanish).
Stories set in rural Mexico in the mid-twentieth century, a country marked by the failure of the Mexican Revolution. Its characters, marginalized and oppressed, live battered by poverty, violence and desolation; Rulfo's laconic, oral prose turns that landscape into a summit of Latin American narrative.
2006 edition, volume 74 of Anagrama's Compactos collection; the work originally appeared in 1953.
For readers interested in the classics of Latin American narrative and in the short story as a literary genre.
Mexican writer and photographer, author of Pedro Páramo and The Burning Plain, works that decisively shaped Spanish-language fiction.
