Synopsis "Diamantes y pedernales (in Spanish)"

Diamantes y pedernales, la admirable novela corta de José María Arguedas, nos permite una mirada panorámica a la producción literaria del autor, al proceso de afinamiento estilístico que fue perfeccionando con cada nueva obra. También aproximamos de manera parcial a la gran variedad de temas que Arguedas abordó en sus obras de ficción.

Sobre Diamantes y pedernales el reconocido crítico literario, Ricardo González Vigil, comenta: “El neoindigenismo alcanza una profundidad psicológica y una expresividad lírica admirables. La fascinación por la música y la pasión erótica se entrelazan (...) el título (de la novela) alude como los ríos cortan como pedernales el diamante de la cordillera andina”.
