Manuel Rojas – Stories
$18.000
In the short stories of Manuel Rojas, we witness the gestation of his literary project and the initial display of his maturity. Of the 32 stories he published during his lifetime, in fact, 28 appeared between the ages of 26 and 35. Cuentos brings together the broad collection of stories that Manuel Rojas chose to include in a volume published by the Sudamericana publishing house in Buenos Aires in 1970, three years before his death. On that occasion, he thoroughly revised these texts, extensively corrected them, and specially wrote the essay “I Speak of My Stories” as an introduction. More than forty years later, Cuentos is published for the first time in Chile. It undoubtedly represents Manuel Rojas's legacy in the short story genre.

Manuel Rojas
Chile. After a restless youth, he radically developed the writing profession in maturity. Among his works, the short story collections stand out Southern men y The criminal (which features his celebrated story “The Glass of Milk”), the novel Rail tip and various essay and travel books. His fundamental work consists of the four novels starring Aniceto Hevia, his alter ego. This tetralogy, titled Irredeemable time in its recent posthumous edition, comprises Son of a thief —perhaps the most important novel of 20th-century Chile—, Better than wine, Shadows on the wall y The dark radiant life. In 1957, he was awarded the National Literature Prize. He/She passed away in Santiago in March 1973.Related books
