La Increíble Y Triste Historia de la Cándida Eréndira Y de Su Abuela Desalmada / The Incredible and Sad Tale of Innocent Eréndira and Her Heartless Gr

Fueron los a os en los que Macondo le abri las puertas del realismo m gico, donde la realidad se expresa mediante f rmulas m gicas y legendarias y los milagros se insertan en la vida cotidiana. La c ndida Er ndira y su abuela desalmada personifican la inocencia y la maldad, el amor y su perversi n, y el relato recuerda al mismo tiempo las gestas medievales y los cantos provenzales o trovadorescos, aunque, como siempre, inmersos en ese mundo denso y frutal del Caribe americano. Estas siete narraciones no son ejercicios para conservar un estilo, ni much simo menos, sino siete exploraciones en el mundo definitivo que el escritor hab a conquistado de una vez por todas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This exceptional book brings together the short novel that gives this book its title as well as six other stories. The times when the author wrote these stories were the years when Macondo opened the doors of magical realism to the author, where reality is expressed through magical and legendary formulas, and miracles are inserted into everyday life. The Incredible and Sad Tale of Innocent Er ndira and Her Heartless Grandmother personify innocence and evil, love and its distortion, and the story recalls medieval deeds and troubadour songs, as always, immersed in that dense and fruity world of the American Caribbean. These seven narratives are seven journeys into the world that the author had conquered once and for all.
