«Junto a la madre muerta y otros cuentos» is a collection of short stories by Horacio Quiroga, published by Bärenhaus in paperback (336 pages, in Spanish).
A collection of tales in which the human and the animal with its own voice coexist, as in fables, and the wild and the civilized merge. Jungle dwellers, lost Europeans, disillusioned men, and reckless entrepreneurs populate stories of delirium, crime, and alienation, with influences from Poe, Kipling, and Conrad.

For readers of Latin American short stories and narrative with dark, unsettling atmospheres.
Horacio Silvestre Quiroga Forteza was a Uruguayan playwright, poet, and short story writer. The jungle settings of his stories emphasized the conflict between humans and nature. His portrayals of mental illness and hallucinatory states were influenced by Edgar Allan Poe. In turn, Quiroga influenced Gabriel García Márquez and Julio Cortázar.
