ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A masterpiece of the surreal, this stunning novel from Mexico depicts a mans strange quest for his heritage. Beseeched by his dying mother to locate his father, Pedro Pramo, whom they fled from years ago, Juan Preciado sets out for Comala. Comala is a town alive with whispers and shadowsa place seemingly populated only by memory and hallucinations. Built on the tyranny of the Pramo family, its barren and broken-down streets echo the voices of tormented spirits sharing the secrets of the past. First published to both critical and popular acclaim in 1955, Pedro Pramo represented a distinct break with earlier, largely "realist" novels from Latin America. Rulfos entrancing mixture of vivid sensory images, violent passions, and inexplicable sorcerya style that has come to be known as magical realismhas exerted a profound influence on subsequent Latin American writers, from Jos Donoso and Carlos Fuentes to Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Mrquez.
