Las historias de este libro hiriente y sobrecogedor tienen como escenario los pueblos y las tierras del sur de Estados Unidos, un mundo decrépito y en ruinas cuyo secular abandono y pobreza ancestral aparecen marcados por la violencia y el odio. Pero más allá de la sordidez, los conflictos raciales, el asfixiante peso de la religión y la frustrada lucha por la libertad, hay siempre en los cuentos de Flannery O'Connor una extraña belleza, una Ãntima exposición moral de la condición humana que trasciende la anécdota. En este volumen se reúnen sus mejores relatos, tanto los que publicó en vida como los que dejó inéditos, muchos de los cuales nunca se habÃan traducido al castellano. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The publication of this extraordinary volume firmly established Flannery O'Connor's monumental contribution to American fiction. There are thirty-one stories here in all, including twelve that do not appear in the only two story collections O'Connor put together in her short lifetime--Everything That Rises Must Converge and A Good Man Is Hard to Find. O'Connor published her first story, The Geranium, in 1946, while she was working on her master's degree at the University of Iowa. Arranged chronologically, this collection shows that her last story, Judgement Day--sent to her publisher shortly before her death?is a brilliantly rewritten and transfigured version of The Geranium. Taken together, these stories reveal a lively, penetrating talent that has given us some of the most powerful and disturbing fiction of the twentieth century. Also included is an introduction by O'Connor's longtime editor and friend, Robert Giroux.
