La Increble Y Triste Historia de la Cndida Erndira Y de Su Abuela Desalmada / The Incredible and Sad Tale of Innocent Erndira and Her Heartless Gr

Fueron los aos en los que Macondo le abri las puertas del realismo mgico, donde la realidad se expresa mediante frmulas mgicas y legendarias y los milagros se insertan en la vida cotidiana. La cndida Erndira y su abuela desalmada personifican la inocencia y la maldad, el amor y su perversin, 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 muchsimo menos, sino siete exploraciones en el mundo definitivo que el escritor haba 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 Erndira 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.
