En estos relatos, Quiroga se maneja con absoluta maestrâia en el terreno de la narraciâon de terror (no en vano se lo compara con Poe y Maupassant, como se puede apreciar al leer historias tan estremecedoras como "La gallina degollada"), y nos ofrece uno de los mâaximos exponentes del modernismo latinoamericano. Es, tambiâen, la obra mâas personal de alguien cuya trâagica existencia estuvo marcada tanto por el amor como por la locura y la muerte."--Provided by publisher.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A master of the horror story in the tradition of Poe and Maupassant, Horacio Quiroga has long been recognized as one of the greatest exponents of Latin American modernism.
