South American Jungle Tales
The stories in South American Jungle Tales center on the relationships between people and the different creatures Quiroga came into contact with on his farm in Misiones, a region of jungle in Uruguay along the banks of the Upper Parana river. Each story quickly evolves into a fantastical realm where the various animals take on familiar human characteristics. These stories, of course, are a metaphor for how man interacts with nature. They are used to show how human beings are an integral part of a greater ecosystem; and can either chose to exploit it to his detriment, or to live in harmony within it. | |
(Spanish) Cuentos de la selva para los niños
Horacio Quiroga ha sido uno de los cuentistas más célebres del Río de la Plata. Sus Cuentos de la Selva exploran con humor, con drama, a veces cínicamente, un mundo imaginario de animales, y sus relaciones con los humanos. Los conflictos, las amistades, lo extraño y lo simbólico reconstruyen este paisaje de la selva misionera con una voz que atrae a niños y adultos por igual. | |
