«Las voces queridas que se han callado y otros cuentos» is a collection of short stories by Horacio Quiroga in paperback (Bärenhaus, 336 pages, in Spanish).
Stories of characters trapped in hostile settings, driven by forces they do not control and by the cruelty of others. Quiroga avoids a kindly view: the environment appears as a relentless adversary and the atmosphere turns strange. It is the narration of a struggle to survive in a world that offers no refuge.
It is the third volume of short stories by Horacio Quiroga published by Bärenhaus; the edition appeared on 1 June 2016.
For readers of Latin American fiction who appreciate the horror story and the oppressive atmosphere of Horacio Quiroga.
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.
