The Decapitated Chicken and Other Stories

por Horacio Quiroga

Tales of horror, madness, and death, tales of fantasy and morality: these are the works of South American master storyteller Horacio Quiroga. Author of some 200 pieces of fiction that have been compared to the works of Poe, Kipling, and Jack London, Quiroga experienced a life that surpassed in morbidity and horror many of the inventions of his fevered mind. As a young man, he suffered his father's accidental death and the suicide of his beloved stepfather. As a teenager, he shot and accidentally killed one of his closest friends. Seemingly cursed in love, he lost his first wife to suicide by poison. In the end, Quiroga himself downed cyanide to end his own life when he learned he was suffering from an incurable cancer. In life Quiroga was obsessed with death, a legacy of the violence he had experienced. His stories are infused with death, too, but they span a wide range of short fiction genres: jungle tale, Gothic horror story, morality tale, psychological study. Many of his stories are set in the steaming jungle of the Misiones district of northern Argentina, where he spent much of his life, but his tales possess a universality that elevates them far above the work of a regional writer.
The first representative collection of his work in English, The Decapitated Chicken and Other Stories provides a valuable overview of the scope of Quiroga's fiction and the versatility and skill that have made him a classic Latin American writer.

The Exiles and Other Stories

por Horacio Quiroga

Tales of risk and danger, suffering, disease, horror, and death. Tales, also, of courage and dignity, hard work, and human endurance in the face of hostile nature and the frequent brutality of men. And tales flavored with piquant touches of humor and bemused irony. These are the stories of the Uruguayan writer Horacio Quiroga, here presented in an important compilation of thirteen of his most compelling tales, sensitively selected and translated by J. David Danielson. Author of some two hundred pieces of fiction, often compared to the works of Kipling, Jack London, and Edgar Allan Poe, Quiroga set many of his stories in the territory of Misiones in northeastern Argentina, the subtropical jungle region where he spent much of his life.
Included here are stories from Los desterrados (1926) often said to be his best book, as well as others from Cuentos de amor de locura y de muerte (1917), Anaconda (1921), and El Desierto (1924). The publication of this selection marks the first appearance in English of all but two of the thirteen stories.
Quiroga here presents a wide range of characters: parents and children, servant girls and prostitutes, landowners and lumber barons, foremen and laborers, natives and immigrants, in stories pervaded by a vision of life that is elemental, incisive, and essentially tragic. The Exiles and Other Stories shows the versatility and skill that have made him a classic Spanish American writer. It complements and illumines The Decapitated Chicken and Other Stories, selected and translated by Margaret Sayers Peden, also published by the University of Texas Press.

Anaconda y otros cuentos

por Horacio Quiroga

Lector apasionado de varios maestros clásicos del género (Edgar Allan Poe, Anton Chéjov, Guy de Maupassant, Jack London o Rudyard Kipling) Quiroga aplicó algunas de sus propuestas teóricas a gran parte de su producción literaria, con más de doscientos cuentos escritos. De esa amplia y variadísima producción hemos seleccionado para el lector de Libro al viento nueve relatos, agrupados en esta particular antología con el título de Anaconda y otros cuentos: “El almohadón de pluma”, “El alambre de púa”, “Anaconda”, “En la noche”, “Juan Darién”, “El regreso de Anaconda”, “El hombre muerto”, “El desierto” y “De caza”. En un nuevo repaso y desde una perspectiva contemporánea, los preceptos dictados por Quiroga comparten en general una sencillez admirable, a veces engañosa, y apuntan siempre con claridad hacia los atributos básicos para que el escritor en ciernes descifre y reconozca la esencia de un buen cuento.

El secreto del tío Edgar

por Alberto Becerril Iturriaga

Os presentamos a un joven y prometedor escritor, Alberto Becerril, desde México y estudiante de sociología ha ganado premios de novela corta en países como Venezuela y hemos seleccionado su obra El secreto de tío Edgar por su perfecta  mezcla de ciencia ficción y terror:Mi interés por la escritura empezó cuando tenía alrededor de dieciséis años, en aquel tiempo escribí mi primera novela corta, no obstante, no produje más escritos  hasta 2010, a la edad de 19 años, fue en ese momento cuando empezó la creación constante de diversos escritos, como cuentos, relatos y novelas, en ese mismo año fui finalista en un concurso internacional de novela corta realizado en Venezuela con mi novela “Un día lluvioso”, y publicado diversos relatos en una gaceta independiente dentro de la Universidad.
El estilo que más me atrapó y el cual escribo es literatura de terror que  decidí desarrollar por la influencia de escritores  como, H.P. Lovecraft, Horacio Quiroga y Edgar Allan Poe. Otro estilo que en el que me siento cómodo actualmente es la ciencia ficción, me he visto influenciado por H.G. Wells, Julio Verne y sobre todo Philip K. Dick. Cabe mencionar otros escritores que están fuera del estilo que escribo, como lo son Dostoievski y Víctor Hugo.
Desde Marlex editorial damos fe que es un escritor organizado y con un estilo narrativo definido y diferencial que atrapa al lector sin grandes trucos y lo conduce por un argumento con acción, misterios y toques de terror algogore. El secreto de tío Edgar resulta fácil y agradable de leer, entretiene generando tensión y miedo en algunas ocasiones.

Pariah in the Desert: The Heroic and the Monstrous in Horacio Quiroga

por Todd S. Garth

This is the first book in English on Horacio Quiroga (Uruguay 1878-Argentina 1937), a canonical author whose works are read by all advanced students of Spanish in the US and many other countries. The study examines Quiroga’s work through the theoretical lens of the heroic—a lens elaborated in part by means of Quiroga’s own disquisitions on the subject—and the complementary phenomenon of the monstrous. This lens serves to elucidate many evidently obscure and self-contradictory aspects of Quiroga’s work and its relation to the context in which he lived. That context included the neo-colonial social and economic milieu of Argentina’s fast-changing, immigrant-charged, increasingly materialistic society; the growing influence of foreign cultural discourses, particularly Hollywood film; the conflict between the genders in a society that embraced modernity but resisted changes in gender roles; the weight of new scientific discourses, especially Darwinian evolution, in social and political thought; and the impact on pedagogical theory and practice of these multiple changing discourses. This study discloses the extraordinary range of Quiroga’s work, which includes erotic romance, science fiction and fantasy, psychological occult, social satire, a great variety of juvenile literature, outdoor adventure and—most familiar to readers in the United States—gothic and naturalist horror. The book concludes that Quiroga’s consistent imperative of the heroic is essential to reconciling these various, evidently incompatible aspects of Quiroga’s poetics, revealing its theoretical and ethical coherence.

Latin American Writers and the Rise of Hollywood Cinema

por Jason Borge

This book analyzes the initial engagement with Hollywood by key Latin American writers and intellectuals during the first few decades of the 20th century. The film metropolis presented an ambiguous, multivalent sign for established figures like Horacio Quiroga, Alejo Carpentier and Mário de Andrade, as well as less renowned writers like the Mexican Carlos Noriega Hope, the Chilean Vera Zouroff and the Cuban Guillermo Villarronda. Hollywood’s arrival on the scene placed such writers in a bind, as many felt compelled to emulate the "artistry" of a medium dominated by a nation posing a symbolic affront to Latin American cultural and linguistic autonomy as well as the region’s geopolitical sovereignty. The film industry thus occupied a crucial site of conflict and reconciliation between aesthetics and politics.

Tales from the Maze of the Mind

por C. M. Villaescusa

This book of stories is the result of many yearsdecadesof experiences of a man not being brought into this world to become a leader or a follower, who hence decided to observe and transfer his views and feelings to whoever is interested in the maze of the human mind. This work does not attempt to comprise an entire life of collected information, just a few glimpses. A solitary boy from a Caribbean island, offspring of a third generation of western European immigrants, first saw the light in the city of Havana, Cuba, and grew up inside a turmoil of many social and political changes in the middle of the 1900s, about which, most likely, every reader has heard of or read. He went through life conceiving these tales and more to come. Some of the stories in this compilation take place around that mentioned era of ups and downs in that land andthough not politically orientedare immersed in the corresponding environment, while some others come about before and after. However, this series of tales is not limited to that place or subject. Many others may develop anywhere. Some have the harshness of an Horacio Quiroga or the mystery, anguish, and supernatural edge of an Edgar Allan Poe, combined with the wit, irony, and poetry of an Oscar Wilde and the absurd of a Franz Kafka; all this to say the least. They go from the distorted perceptions of an infant, through the mental troubles of a young adult or a parent, to the last days of the life of an elder; from the liberal thoughts of the streets to the dark philosophy of the enclosed man. The characters, manyt times simultaneously the narrators, may go from the mentally challenged, through the street-wise, to the insane intellectual. The book does not intend to cover the human spirit in its entiretytrying to do that would take a bit more than a book, but it is likely that the reader, would find a point of identification with a life gone through, or a fantasy taken place in the mind. Adventure, romance, action, and the paranormal combine in these pages, as so do happiness, sadness, and desperation.
