About Diario de viaje a París. Edición revisada
Twenty-two years, a formidable talent and a matching ego, Horacio Quiroga (1878-1937) disembarks in Paris in the summer of 1900. He will visit the Louvre and the fourth Universal Exhibition, watch bicycle races, take part in literary circles and meet the famous Parisian cocottes. He will also get sick, run out of money (and even dignity), in an almost romantic adventure that will mark him forever.
Horacio Quiroga
The uncontested master of modern Latin American narrative, Horacio Quiroga (Uruguay, 1878) draws his influences from modernist giants, such as Rubén Darío, and romantic and naturalist behemoths, such as Edgar Allan Poe and Guy de Maupassant. Cuentos de amor de locura y de muerte, his most acclaimed work, includes “La gallina degollada” and “El amohadón de plumas”, classics of Spanish horror literature.
