Synopsis "Cuentos de La Selva (in Spanish)"

Horacio Quiroga es uno de los maximos exponentes de las letras hispanoamericanas de su epoca y su obra sigue siendo actual, tal vez porque conocio como pocos la ilusion y el fracaso, la contradiccion entre el deseo y la realidad. Como bien explica la profesora Ana Alcolea, Quiroga fue contradictorio hasta el final de sus dias. Era capaz de de despertar odios y pasiones; se entregaba en cuerpo y alma a todo aquello en lo que tenia fe: la amistad, el amor, la selva... Su personalidad rompia con los arquetipos del intelectual urbano. Los Cuentos de la selva para los ninos (1918), relatos que Quiroga inventaba para sus propios hijos durante su estancia en Misiones, estan llenos de ternura y de lecciones morales. Ofrecen, en conjunto, un racimo de valores educativos, extraidos del comportamiento animal, al estilo de lo que fueran las fabulas de Esopo. Los ocho cuentos, con el hombre como maximo depredador de la Naturaleza, son de perenne actualidad, por su estilo y por su compromiso. / Jungle Tales (Cuentos de la Selva) is a collection of eight short stories by Uruguayan writer and naturalist Horacio Quiroga that was published with enormous success in 1918. To this day, children in elementary schools across all Latin America read this book as a part of their curriculum. In these stories, Horacio Quiroga captures the magic of the jungle, which is the scene of great and exciting adventures illuminated by nature in allits splendor. Jungle Tales expands the spectrum of literature for English speaking kids and teenagers and introduces them to new cultures and a different way of seeing the world.
