Unter einem ferneren Himmel

The father of all modern Latin American literature. Loved, admired, copied - here you understand why. Those who want to sharpen their literary standards against world literature, who want to know which author fundamentally influenced Latin American literature in the 20th century, should reach for the newly translated works of Juan Rulfo. Dagmar Ploetz has wonderfully retranslated the complete works with all its quirks and nuances. Intensity and symbolism are the most impressive features of Rulfo's writing style. Now, after several individual editions, the Mexican author is once again brought to mind with a beautiful edition of his collected works. It is enlighteningly commented on by Benjamin Leu and newly translated by Dagmar Ploetz. A classic of modernity. Juan Rulfo tells stories whose enchanting style is as sparse and cracked as the earth in sun-scorched Mexico. The dark luster of Juan Rulfo's work has lost none of its captivating power. Those who have once heard the voices from Juan Rulfo's world will never forget them.
