Synopsis "Cuentos Reunidos (in Spanish)"

En el 30. aniversario de su muerte, llega a la colección de Cuentos completos Julio Ramón Ribeyro, uno de los maestros del siglo XX en español, en una edición con prólogo de Juan Gabriel Vásquez «No haynada más cinematográfico que el retrato humano y en eso los cuentos de Ribeyro son únicos . -Fernando León de Aranoa Compuesta a lo largo de más de cuatro décadas, la narrativa breve de Julio Ramón Ribeyro, a la que el propio autor tituló La palabra del mudo, despliega una variedad de registros que abarcan el ámbito de lo fantástico, lo social, lo filosófico, así como la memoria introspectiva que evoca su juventud europea y su infancia en el Miraflores de su Lima natal. Aunque muchos de sus personajes son víctimas de la desilusión o el fracaso, una de las marcas de su imaginario, lo cierto es que sus cuentos trascienden el tópico de la derrota y recrean el complejo caudal de la experiencia humana. Este volumen reúne la mayor parte de su producción cuentística. Noventa y cinco relatos que revelan a un artista dotado para realzar el minúsculo resplandor de unas vidas confinadas a la imposibilidad. Fiel a la poética del fragmento y la periferia, que lo mantuvo al margen del Boom, el autor peruano supo narrar con compasiva ironía el destino de los seres tocados por la frustración, la decadencia y el misterio, y extraer de ese material sensible una forma de inigualable belleza. Con los años, la obra de Julio Ramón Ribeyro no ha hecho sino crecer en lectores y admiración. Estas páginas confirman el lugar privilegiado que ocupa su nombre entre los maestros de la prosa breve de todos los tiempos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION On the 30th anniversary of his death, Julio Ramón Ribeyro, one of the masters of twentieth century literature in Spanish, joins the collection Cuentos Completos in an edition prologued by Juan Gabriel Vásquez. "There is nothing more cinematic than a human portrait, and at that, Ribeyro's short stories are one of a kind." --Fernando León de Aranoa Composed throughout four decades, Julio Ramón Ribeyro's short fiction, which the author himself entitled The Mute's Word, displays a series of registers that covers the spheres of fantasy, society, philosophy, and introspective memory to evoke his European youth and his childhood in Miraflores, in his native Lima. Though many of his characters are victims of disillusionment or failure, one of the markers of his imaginary, the truth is his short stories transcend the topic of defeat and recreate the complex wealth of human experience. This volume gathers the best of his storytelling production. Ninety-five tales that reveal an artist gifted at highlighting the minuscule glow of lives confined to impossibility. Faithful to the poetic of fragmentation and periphery that sidelined him from the Boom movement, the Peruvian author knew how to narrate, with compassionate irony, the fate of those beings touched by frustration, decadence, and mystery, and draw a form of incomparable beauty from that sensitive material. Over the years, the work of Julio Ramón Ribeyro has only gathered readers and admiration. These pages confirm the privileged place his name has among the great masters of short prose of all time.

Julio Ramón Ribeyro (Lima, 1929 - 1994) was one of the most outstanding narrators of Peruvian and Latin American literature. Educated in Humanities and Law at the Catholic University of Lima, his life was marked by a deep connection with literature and a constant search for new forms of expression. In 1960, he moved to Paris, where, in addition to practicing journalism at France Presse, he held diplomatic roles, such as cultural advisor and ambassador to UNESCO. His work, translated into several languages, has been a fundamental reference in the study of 20th-century narrative.

Throughout his career, Ribeyro received accolades such as the National Literature Prize (1983) and the Juan Rulfo Prize (1994), establishing himself as a master of short narrative. His style, which addresses the complexities of the human condition, spans a wide range of genres and themes, with special attention to the details of everyday life.

Works like Los gallinazos sin plumas (1954), Cuentos de circunstancias (1958), and Silvio en El Rosedal (1977) reveal his ability to capture the essence of human existence, full of irony, pain, and hope. His legacy as a storyteller and his influence on generations of writers endure to this day.

Una amiga me presto un par de libros, cada uno con un par de sus cuentos. Me encantó de inmediato sus temáticas, las tribulaciones de sus personajes y ese caótico pero sensible mundo interno en que Ribeyro nos sumerge en sus historias. No lo dude y me hice con este libro, que e recopila todos sus cuentos, a diferencia de la edición de bolsillo, que se trata de una antología.

Contenido y cuentos 10/10 Calidad del producto: 2/10. El empastado y pegado deja mucho que desear, las esquinas llegaron magulladas (no creo que vuelva a comprar un libro Alfaguara, precio elevado para una calidad baja)

Un escritor tremendo, se ve que bebió de mucha escuelas y nunca perdió la curiosidad de probar en distintos modos narrativos.
