Surazo
Prologue by Beatriz García-Huidobro
$11.000
If the simple appears to be the axis of Marta Jara's writing, it is ultimately transcendent themes embodied in simple people. These four stories reveal how alike all human beings are, resembling each other in the great human topics: death, loss, love, family relationships, aging. And how nature is determinant in existences, how its grandeur is more than a setting and unfolds broadly and ungraspably while also being intervened by small fragments that generate the identity of men and women with the earth, the sea, and the wind.

Marta Jara
Chile. A Chilean writer and short story author, she is associated with the Generation of “50. She studied in Talca and as a teenager, she entered the No. 1 Girls” High School of Santiago. She experienced many setbacks in her life and took on jobs unusual for women at that time, such as taxi driver, shop assistant, and ranch administrator. Although she published other books previously, her work *Surazo* received the most recognition. With this book, she was awarded the Alerce Prize in 1961 and later the Municipal Prize for Literature in 1963. Other works include *El vaquero de Dios* (1949) and *Un lugar bajo techo* (1972). Several of her short stories are included in important anthologies, especially "La camarera," which won an award from El Mercurio in 1956.Related books
