«Pasa algo muy especial con los cuentos de Quiroga y es que nunca se agota el interés que despiertan. A diferencia de otros autores clásicos que se leen en determinado momento de la vida, Horacio Quiroga acompaña al lector en todas sus edades.» —Sergio Olguín
Como una extensión de su propia vida, la obra de Horacio Quiroga es desmesurada, turbulenta, inquietante como pocas. En sus relatos siempre reverbera ese pulso enrarecido que, como el insecto misterioso y letal de “El almohadón de pluma”, termina carcomiendo todo.
Cuentos de amor de locura y de muerte
(1917) esconde en el título una de las claves para su lectura. Esa coma elidida es la marca con la que Quiroga sentencia su literatura, en la que las pasiones y el horror, los afectos y los tormentos, se entrelazan hasta confundirse en un nudo que amenaza con dejarnos sin aire.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Tales of Love Madness and Death
is the most representative work of Horacio Quiroga. In these 15 short stories, Quiroga handles himself with absolute mastery in the field of horror narration (he is often compared to Poe and Maupassant, as can be seen when reading such shocking stories as “The Slaughtered Hen”) and offers us one of the greatest examples of Latin American modernism. Quiroga deals with some of the most dangerous aspects of the jungle of South America, such as poisonous snakes, ants that eat living humanbeings, and parasites that kill.
The work deals mainly with death, although it touches upon other themes such as the humanization of animals.
