Desde su publicación en 1952, Confabulario ha cautivado a generaciones de lectores y ha consolidado a Juan José Arreola como uno de los escritores más originales y relevantes de la literatura mexicana contemporánea.
Del cuento fantástico a la fábula de animales, de lo mágico a lo fantasmagórico, de la solemnidad superflua al sinsentido provechoso, del amor idealizado a las más hermosas metáforas del dolor y de la muerte; la veintena de relatos que componen Confabulario recorren un espacio de sapiencia, hilaridad e ingenio extraordinario. Considerados por el propio autor como sus cuentos maduros y aquello que más se les parece , son una muestra deslumbrante de imaginación, sensibilidad y maestrÃa literaria.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Since its publication in 1952, Confabulario has captivated generations of readers and established Juan José Arreola as one of the most original and significant voices in contemporary Mexican literature.
From fantastic tales to animal fables, from the magical to the phantasmagorical, from superfluous solemnity to meaningful nonsense, from idealized love to the most beautiful metaphors of pain and death; the twenty stories that make up Confabulario traverse a space of wisdom, humor, and extraordinary wit. Considered by the author himself as his mature stories and those most resembling them, they are a dazzling display of imagination, sensitivity, and literary mastery.
