Synopsis "Jungle Tales"

Horacio Silvestre Quiroga Forteza (31 December 1878 - 19 February 1937) was an Uruguayan playwright, poet, and short story writer. He wrote stories which, in their jungle settings, use the supernatural and the bizarre to show the struggle of man and animal to survive. He also excelled in portraying mental illness and hallucinatory states. His influence can be seen in the Latin American magic realism of Gabriel García Márquez and the postmodern surrealism of Julio Cortázar. Translator: Arthur Livingston

(Uruguay, 1878 - Argentina, 1937). Cuentista, dramaturgo y poeta uruguayo. Fue el maestro del cuento latinoamericano, de prosa vívida, naturalista modernista. Sus relatos, que a menudo retratan a la naturaleza bajo rasgos temibles y horrorosos, y como enemiga del ser humano, le valieron ser comparado con el estadounidense Edgar Allan Poe. Es autor de Cuentos de la selva, Lo arrecifes de coral y Anaconda.
