That man swears to his dying mother that he will find the father he has never met—Pedro Páramo—but when he reaches the town of Comala, he finds it haunted by memories and hallucinations. There emerges the tragic tale of Páramo himself, and the town whose every corner holds the taint of his rotten soul. Although initially published to a quiet reception, \u003ci\u003ePedro Páramo\u003c\/i\u003e was soon recognized as a major novel that has served as a touchstone text for writers including Mario Vargas Llosa and José Donoso. Now published in a new translation from the definitive Spanish edition by celebrated Rulfo scholar Douglas J. Weatherford, and featuring a foreword by Gabriel García Márquez, this new edition of the novel cements its place as one of the seminal literary texts of the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Juan Rulfo","offers":[{"title":"Grove\/Atlantic |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2023-11-24","offer_id":44230060933375,"sku":"9780802160935","price":25.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_26d176ff-8431-4f90-a1d0-9a110ea1eaff.jpg?v=1692996778","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9780802160935","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
