Summary

Un gran clásico de la narrativa breve latinoamericana, en la  antología esencial compaginada por el propio autor.

Julio Ramón Ribeyro tituló La palabra del mudo al conjunto de sus cuentos, y más tarde destiló su esencia en la presente antología. Clásico incuestionable de la literatura latinoamericana, el volumen hace  gala de una gran riqueza literaria y diversidad temática, que el lector  encontrará reflejada en textos de corte social («Al pie del acantilado»), fantástico («La insignia») o poético («Los eucaliptos»).

El escritor peruano Julio Ramón Ribeyro es uno de los maestros del cuento y un importante contribuyente al gran florecimiento de la literatura latinoamericana que siguió a la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En una carta a un editor, Ribeyro dijo sobre sus historias, “en la mayoría de [ellos] encuentran expresión los que están privados de palabras en la vida, los marginados, los olvidados, los condenados a una existencia sin armonía y sin voz. Les he devuelto el aliento que se les ha negado y les he permitido modular sus propios anhelos, arrebatos y angustias ".

Se trata de una obra de profunda humanidad, imbuida de un lirismo desorientador que es solo de Ribeyro. La palabra del mudo introduce a los lectores a una voz indispensable e inolvidable de la ficción latinoamericana.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A great classic in Latin American short story; it is an essential anthology put together by the author himself. A collection of deeply humane stories depicting marginalized populations by one of the greatest South American writers of the 20th century.

The Peruvian writer Julio Ramón Ribeyro is one of the masters of the short story and a major contributor to the great flourishing of Latin American literature that followed the Second World War. In a letter to an editor, Ribeyro said about his stories, “in most of [them] those who are deprived of words in life find expression—the marginalized, the forgotten, those condemned to an existence without harmony and without voice. I have restored to them the breath they’ve been denied, and I’ve allowed them to modulate their own longings, outbursts, and distress.” This is work of deep humanity, imbued with a disorienting lyricism that is Ribeyro’s alone. The Word of the Speechless introduces readers to an indispensable and unforgettable voice of Latin American fiction.
