Julio R Ribeyro Libros
31 de agosto de 1929 – 4 de diciembre de 1994
Julio Ramón Ribeyro fue un escritor peruano célebre por sus cuentos, a menudo de carácter autobiográfico. Sus personajes suelen ver sus esperanzas cruelmente frustradas, pero su obra, a pesar de su aparente pesimismo, resulta frecuentemente cómica, gracias a la ironía del autor y a los infortunios que les suceden a sus protagonistas. Ribeyro cultivó diversos géneros literarios, y su prosa, sencilla pero irónica, otorga a su escritura un sello distintivo y peculiar.

Available in English for the first time, a collection of deeply humane stories depicting marginalized populations by one of the greatest South American writers of the 20th century. The Peruvian writer Julio Ramón Ribeyro is one of the masters of the short story and a major contributor to the great flourishing of Latin American literature that followed the Second World War. In a letter to an editor, Ribeyro said about his stories, “in most of [them] those who are deprived of words in life find expression—the marginalized, the forgotten, those condemned to an existence without harmony and without voice. I have restored to them the breath they’ve been denied, and I’ve allowed them to modulate their own longings, outbursts, and distress.” This is work of deep humanity, imbued with a disorienting lyricism that is Ribeyro’s alone. The Word of the Speechless, edited and translated by Katherine Silver, introduces readers to an indispensable and unforgettable voice of Latin American fiction.
