Relatos, Paperback

In these stories by Jose Maria Arguedas is advertised the problem that would end up governing all of her writing: the life, fate, and suffering of the Native Americans in the towns and villages of the mountains of Peru. The theme for excellence of her work is the confrontation between two cultures: the Andean of Quechua origin and the urban citizens of European races. Born in Andahuaylas, in the heart of the poorest and most neglected Andean area of the country, he had contact from infancy with the environments and personalities that he would incorporate into his work. For this reason his work reveals the profound love he has for the Andean Peruvian culture, to whom he owes his most formative years, and represents, without a doubt, the peak of Peruvian indigenous life.

En estos Relatos de Jos Mar a Arguedas se advierte la problem tica que terminar a por presidir toda su escritura: la vida, los azares y los sufrimientos de los indios en las haciendas y aldeas de la sierra del Per . El tema por excelencia de su obra es la confrontaci n entre dos culturas: la andina de origen quechua y la urbana de ra ces europeas.
